>Did people really believe that Iraq/Saddam Hussein had some kind of tangential involvement in 9/11? I've been told this was the case but I can't quite believe it.
People in general? Yes. Saddam had been portrayed as some sort of supervillain in the media since the Gulf War.
>Also, Why did America and her allies jump so quickly from Afghanistan to Iraq?
Afghanistan seemed to have been pacified in a matter of weeks.
>"The End of History" by Francis Fukuyama
Not that book exactly. But it was a general belief that that the entire world was crying out for democracy and would welcome it. The fall of the Berlin Wall was little more than a decade before, after all. I remember the term "Islamofascism" from the time, but it was only portrayed as someone being under the thumb of a dictator. China was also not major world power in the early 2000's, and it was seen in the same light as some backwards former Soviet state but with a billion people.
