    Iraq may well have been invaded even without 9/11, as it was Bush Jr. finishing what his father started in the late 80s.

    The direct consequence of 9/11 was Afghanistan, and thus is a more apt metaphor for what is happening with Israel right now.

      There’s no point raising a metaphor in the first place. A metaphor doesn’t justify anything. It’s just a rhetorical tool that is supposed to help deliver a point. However, all it does in this instance is mess and draw confusion.
