Really? then who killed all the Americans? 4000 Americans don't just die in a different country we just so happen to be fighting a war in.
what about Al-Qaeda?
Please read what I said carefully.
I never said that there were never any terrorists in Iraq.

"they weren't there before we invaded"
why were there car bombs
Saddam was still in power, which was the problem. They were happy when we caught him and took him from power.
if we weren't there, he still would be, and he would still be threatening us with his weapons.
We did not go in there and attack nothing and wait for them to appear. They were always there.

You seem to be making the mistake of assuming that because someone revolts against a foreign invader who kills and tortures his countrymen while destroying his economy and way of life, he is a terrorist. Generally the proper term is militant or insurgent.
People who became insurgents after the invasion were in Iraq before the invasion, yes. But Al-Qaeda was not present in Iraq till 2004 (That's when JTJ declared allegiance to Al-Qaeda). JTJ wasn't started until after the invasion.
EDIT: I agree with Ethan's above post as well. Mine has been edited.

either way, there were terrorists there. They were there before, they will still be there.

There are some "terrorists" sure, but a vast majority of people that you describe as terrorists are defending their communities. I'd do the same if I was in their shoes. You probably wold too.
I'm just saying Canada isn't perfect. People seem to think, or at least some people seem to think, that Canada is the most peaceful country in the world, and nothing is wrong.

Al-Qaeda was not there before the war started. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, despite what the Bush administration claimed.

the Bush administration never claimed that that Iraq had anything to do with 9/11. The reason why we are in Afghanistan is because of 9/11.

No, the Bush administration did say that. Repeatedly.

"Mr Bush has never directly accused the former Iraqi leader of having a hand in the attacks on New York and Washington"
it really doesn't matter if he associates them. It really does not. Al-Qaeda was in Iraq, they were the terrorist group that did the 9/11 attacks. They were in Iraq, and we were fighting them there. This does not mean that Saddam was part of it.
