There is plenty of evidence directly connecting Saddam to several direct attacks on America, including (but probably not limited to) the assassination attempt on former President Bush, the original 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and some (if not all) of the anthrax letters mailed shortly after 9/11.

Once Iraq has descended into chaos and we give up and leave, the religious nuts that end up ruling it will make Saddam look like a nice guy. Those are the people behind the two WTC attacks and this war will strengthen them in two primary ways: they will have more people joining them, and they will have a base of operations to work out of that may include a large part of the Middle East and South Asia (Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, etc).
I worry about instability, unpredictability, popular uprisings such as voting for Islamic law in the new Iraq, Pakistan, Turkey and elsewhere.
