Al Qaeda was all over the place. Wasn't a single Afghani on any of those planes. There were, however, 15 Saudis (out of 19 hijackers). The attack was planned by a Saudi. The organization was run by a Saudi, and funded by Saudis.
And yet, when we finally got bin laden, it wasn't in Afghanistan. He moved, easily, with Saudi money. Thousands of Americans were killed with weapons paid for by Saudi money, held by troops recruited and trained with Saudi money. Seems like if we had cut off the Saudi money this thing would have been over a hell of a lot faster.
How dare they blame the country most directly involved
Perhaps because it's the same nation that funded them
Also lol at "some". Yeah, 15 out of 19 is "some".
I don't think we should have attacked anyone. We should have sanctioned the fuck out of Saudi Arabia. Cut off the funding and al Qaeda dissolves on its own without firing a shot.
As opposed to targeting the people not responsible for these actions with death, as the war hurt regular afghanis the most?
Your entire approach to to this subject is bordering on Bond villlan levels of evil. Why does your breath smell like al saud semen?
