Thats the worst Conspiracy Theory I have ever heard.
Anyone who believes that needs their head testing.

We are at war with Iraq and Afghanistan because some guy called Osama Bin Laden woke up one morning and decided to fly 2 planes into the Twin Towers for no apparent reason,

Where did they train? Practice? Plot? Make it all come out perfectly, with no rehearsals? Gee, the Hollywood and Theater companies of the World could sure use those sorts of talents, to shave production costs. Just write a script, cast the actors, put them in costume and start the play...or start filming, because there's no need to rehearse, fine tune, or clear up any rough edges in your plans, because it's so brilliant from the start.
Compared to the Muslim extremists who actually PLANNED for months, did dry runs, plotted, trained, practiced....for MONTHS!!! Still, didn't quite go as they'd hoped (fortunately). Bad enough though....

Then the story goes on that he had to be removed because he had committed genecide in the early 1990's of around 200 Kurds so we have had to kill 1.3 million Iraqi civilians since this invasion.

The thing is most people will not gather the "facts" and lay them out for inspection. There are bills to pay, games to watch, and mouths to feed. If everyone could receive a primer guide to the official story and how mucked up it has become, how many twists and turns and outright LIES there were, maybe they would turn away from the the bread and the circuses, tear the veil off their eyes and start scratching their heads.
Fantasy becomes reality when no one cares to look again. There's things to be done and fun to be had! Why would they want to get mad? Don't get mad, get glad! As that tv commercial says.
The fabric of thought and idea is being stitched and quilted into the straight jackets that surround us. Enslaved by anothers requisite and vision, we are the dead men who work for the living, the profane who toil for the principalities.
I have the power of all the people killed since the beginning of man in my veins and mind, and am profoundly angered. The cries and moans of those set upon by the wolves of war.
Lies are fact and truth is detested! They say the end justifies the means, but there is no end.
It's all a damn joke soaked in blood.

Wow... do you even know what day it is? I really hope that was just an attempt at a colossus sized strawman for satirical effect rather than indicative of your understanding of the situation.
1. Bin Laden has plenty of reasons to hate us, and has plenty of videos where he says why. Whether or not you think they're good reasons doesn't matter. What matters is whether or not he thinks they are good reasons, and whether or not he can convince others to of those reasons. ... and no, it has nothing to do with our freedoms.
2. We're not at war with Afghanistan, we're at war IN Afghanistan. We toppled the central Taliban leadership a long time ago, and are now trying to clean up the resistant Taliban forces. They don't control the government, but they do control several territories. We only went to war with the Taliban because they sheltered Al-Qaeda. If they had cooperated and worked with us, we wouldn't have toppled them. Whatever else we may be doing (securing oil fields/lines, opium eradication/cultivation, etc) is additional.
3. We didn't go to War with Iraq because of links to Al-Qaeda. We went to war with Iraq (officially) because we thought they had WMDs and Saddam wouldn't comply with proper inspections. Al-Qaeda links were flimsy and circumstantial at best, and most of the language used by officials to the public were nebulous terms like "Terrorist groups", rather than specific names and organizations. The supposed Al-Qaeda links were pushed more and more into focus later on when we realized he didn't have much of anything. Saddam was just using the UN/American concern over WMD possession as a bluff to establish greater influence with his neighbors - such as Iran and Kuwait whom they were not on good terms with. Apparently, Saddam didn't think we'd go as far as we did, and played his hand to the end hoping we'd pull back like the first Gulf War... because either way if we didn't, his days were numbered. Whatever other motivations we may have had for going into Iraq (Such as Oil, Israeli security and military staging platforms, etc) - we declared war because he wouldn't let inspectors have access to supposed WMD sites.
4. The plan was to fly four planes into American buildings. Only two of those hit the towers. The two others were to crash into the Pentagon and the White House.
5. Osama Bin Laden didn't just wake up one morning and crap out the 9/11 attacks along with yesterdays falafel. Osama didn't even plan the attacks. It was a collaborative effort of many individuals, with Abu Zubaydah being the central figure supposedly involved in the planning and organization. Really, Osama Bin Laden is really more of a celebrity figure... he's an icon, because he is a well known rebel hero from the days of driving out the Soviets in the late 70's. He had the influence, fame, and finances to help first establish Al-Qaeda - but most of their attacks are planned in independent cells... not generally handed down from a structured hierarchy. The initial 1993 bombing was instigated by such an independent cell, but failed to cause the damage and death Yousef desired (though over 1,000 were injured and 6 died) - which likely inspired what would eventually become the more elaborate and structured plan of attack in 2001 with more involvement from the central leadership. So... yes... I can see how Al-Qaeda could pull off something like 9/11 (which was only a partial success for them, since damage to the Pentagon was less than expected and the White House attackers crashed in PA), yet still botch a car bombing or small scale attack.
Now... in just those five points I've left a LOT of vital information out in a highly overly simplified set of corrections which are according to the official story - not even getting into conspiracy theorist contentions, and yet, my five corrections address only ONE paragraph of your OP's rant against the official story.
So if what you described is what you THINK the official story states... then you shouldn't believe it. I wouldn't. Nobody should. It's a bunch of misconceptions about the official story, and by ranting against that - you're not doing the truther movement any favors ~ as you just end up perpetuating negative stereotypes.
Interestingly enough, I was introduced to both of these by people who also believe in these 9/11 conspiracies. 'Nuff said.
