Reasons for the 9/11 attacks

Questions:

1. What were the reasons for the 9/11 attacks? Make sure to include a discussion of the role of US foreign policy.
2. What are some explanations for the invasion of Iraq (I was going to cover this more in-depth this Tuesday, but we had to cancel class, but I will pick up on this next Tuesday). How did the Bush administration get the country to shift from Bin Laden to Iraq after 9/11? How were the public and many elected officials/policymakers persuaded to support the war?
3. Why is the United States such a militaristic society? Be sure to include a discussion of the Military-Industrial Complex, foreign policy, and American culture
