The Taliban were going to be removed before sept 2001. This was a well known fact. It has now been misplaced or changed to support what happened after sept 11 2001.

What I always thought was that the Al-Quada were going to be attacked ( taliban as well ) not openly like what really happened but via its local enemies and with Special Ops. And some help from India , Iran , Russia.

Not a conspircy theory. I do not think they were going to send the military in there as they did but with 9-11 this became an option to use. Which they did as well as the other plans that were in place or in motion.

As for Iran... their lead cleric has advocated the use of nuclear weapons on Israel (link here). They have a nuclear infrastructure program in progress. Is it asking too much to insist that these two facts be taken into consideration in determining if Iran is a "rogue state" or not?

DId you read the whole article? And in answer to your question of is it to much... well yes. and i do not think iran is a rogue state.

And Iraq's ties with 'terrorism' are Groups that could hurt their regional foes. Such as Mujahedeen-e-Khalq , Kurdistan Workers’ Party and some palestinian Groups such as the islamist hamas and the abu nidal organization. And reportedly channeled money to families of Plaestinian suicide bombers.
