No. 9/11 had zero to do with it. It was planned before 9/11. 9/11 just provided cheap excuses for it, made it easier.
Obviously. Doesn't change that these docs say UK went to war over (a) recalculus post-9/11 and (b) pipe-dreams of intl-stability

No. It's entirely possible Blair & Bush were given a loaded gun pointed at Iraq for self-serving reasons by bad people.
But - at least from these documents - they pulled that trigger believing it was for "international stability", not $ reasons
Dollar hegemony IS international stability. It's not about profit. It's about sustaining US hegemony.
True. But causation and correlation are not the same. These docs make no mention of UK/US seeking to monetize post-war Iraq.
