Also I'd never heard of Osama bin Laden before 9/11 but everyone in America seemed so sure he was behind it so there was obviously history there.

The leap from Osama to Saddam is a leap of faith. Only if you don't question it does it make any sense. Left to himself, Saddam would have gone on his merry old way, and, in due time, would have become an American ally again. Hell, look what happened to Libya! In some devious way, they and thier demented leader are now OK.
