would the United States still have invaded iraq had 9/11 not happened?

why is nobody asking this question? what is the administration's answer to this? actually, asking this administration anything and expecting a straight truthful answer is rediculous. but why is nobody asking this? could it be that they know the answer, and are letting the bushies off the hook by not putting them in the position of having to answer? this is what i mean we used to have a watchdog press, not the lapdog press we have now.
