> That's my exact point, Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, but we all got so emotional we couldn't question.

No, we all didn't, especially those of us who had already been pointing out, before 9/11 and even before the 2000 election, that Cheney, as well as others in the campaign and later administration, had been pushing for war with Iraq under a variety of different pretexts for years. And not the 127 Representatives and 23 Senators who voted against even conditional authority for the war. And, arguably, not many of the representatives and senators who voted for the conditions regarding determinations that had to be made for the war.
