This I believe is true.

This I don't know about, but could be.  The move to oust Hussein started
rolling into public view just after 9/11, so all along I've been wondering
about some connection which I just couldn't see.  What is your reason for
believing your statement?

good for the economy

This part I believe is a fallacy.  I don't think most informed economists
believe that war is good for stimulating the economy.  In fact just the
opposite.  It is potentially good for elections, though...
