How many times are they going to say that?? Do they realize how stupid they sound?? If a group of Americans went to another country and bombed them - would that country have the right to bomb America??? And these liberals claim to be anti-war!!!!!! I don't get it!
Afghanistan was where bin Laden and his operatives were living and trained those hijackers on the many training camps there. The Taliban was protecting them and giving them up.

Charlotte, I should "read up" because I'm wrong?? Pathetic answer. Anybody can tell anybody that they're wrong, but if you don't explain WHY they are wrong, you sound stupid and it makes that person look right.

CJ, I know they were Saudi nationals. My point is, it's totally stupid for liberals to keep mentioning this, as if we were supposed to drop bombs on Saudi Arabia.

~By your logic, if you are saying the invasion of Afghanistan was justified, then yes, Osama had every right to fly into the WTC. What's good for the shooter is good for the target.
As to why people say bin Laden was from Saudi Arabia, it might be because he was. He trained there, he was financed there, and by half of the House of Saud, he is still welcome there (they tend to keep both sides happy if and when they can). Don't forget the aid, arms, training and assistance he got from the US when he was our ally against the Soviets in Afghanistan. And leave us not forget that the war lords are still growing record poppy crops in Afghanistan today - some are the same warlords as were there 6 years ago, some are new (Duh, the warlords have run Afghanistan for more than 1000 years and will continue doing so long after Uncle tucks his tail between his legs and whimpers on home.)
By they way, large and small groups of Americans have gone to other countries (Panama, Somalia, Iraq, Iran, Granada, Mexico, Canada, Lybia, Lebanon, Vietnam, Korea and on and on and on) and bombed people. Okay, usually they wore uniforms - big difference that makes. It is that history that makes other want to do some paybacks (and again, by your logic, the paybacks are proper and just.) Look around you. But not from tall buildings. We have begged for another 9/11 and it will come.
What exactly is the point of your question? What exactly IS your question.

Excuse me if I'm not getting your point here. I'm ultra-conservative, ok? Many of the hijackers on 9/11 were born in Saudi Arabia. That was their country of origin. But they were trained by Al-Qaeda, probably in the camps in Afghanistan, supported and protected by the Taliban.

Well what about the conspiracy nuts who say bush did 9/11 just so he could invade iraq?
Now if Bush did 9/11 just to invade iraq,
Wouldn't he have made the fake passports from the fake terrorist say they were all from iraq ?
Maybe they should ask why Clinton bombed Serbia after a New Yorker blew up the Federal building in Oklahoma City, instead of bombing New York !!!!!!!
Lets face it, if Bush found a cancer cure, the left would whine that he didn't find an aids cure first.
Just look at education, Bush has increased federal education funding more than any other president, at twice the rate Clinton did, but they accuse him of cutting education funding all the time.
And they completely ignore the fact that the last democratic congress we had back when Clinton was president, CUT federal education funding 16%.
Bush increases Federal Education funding 60%
Clinton increases Federal Education funding 29%
Bush increases Pell Grant funding 56%
Clinton increases Pell Grant funding 35%
1993 federal education budget - 32.4 billion
2001 federal education budget - 42 billion
2007 federal education budget - 67.3 billion
1993 federal pell grant budget - 6.4 billion
2001 federal pell grant budget - 8.7 billion
2007 federal pell grant budget - 13.6 billion

Political bigotry does not help. The info proceed to be. they are scuffling with the comparable conflict we are. My family individuals fled partly because of the fact of that conflict. that's no longer Islam against the U.S. this is definitely considered one of the main simplistic blunders of the warring parties of this conflict. there have been no defense force opposition strikes aside from Al-Qaeda, in spite of the undeniable fact that there have been 2 intense tries to overthrow the Saudi royal family individuals: the 1st became on 1979-11-20, whilst heavily armed and provisioned Sunni Islamic fundamentalists, such as Saudis and Egyptians enrolled in Islamic analyze on the Islamic college of Medina, took over and besieged Al-Masjid al-Haram in Mecca. the different became interior the year 1980 by ability of Shia Muslims interior the eastern component to the rustic. The flow became allegedly supported by ability of the Iranian government. the present substantial warring parties of the government are actually the flow for Islamic Reform in Arabia and al-Qaeda

Not as stupid as when conservatives like Cheney cite a CIA source nicknamed "curveball" for his questionable veracity. Cheney went on TV multiple times and cited this curveball clown as his source for information about the 9-11 pilot Mohammad Atta meeting with Iraqi intelligence in Prague prior to 9-11.
Pointing out that the pilots were from Saudi Arabia and Egypt isn't as bad as insinuating that Iraq had a hand in planning 9-11, just so you can go play with military toys and blow up Baghdad.

Yeah and funny how they still are our "ally." Please, they aren't our ally! A smart person would see the connection right away...Saudi Arabian are treated like crap in their country that is so rich with oil and business. The King there lives in wealth along with his goons and the rest of the people suffer, yet we support their actions...it's like a father who beats his wife and the child that watches this...guess what the child will do when he grows up? Abuse his wife, just like he was taught by his father, yet he would never strike his father....guess who the wife is in this instance..our government. The fact that they are were being protected by Al-Qaeda is of no relevance, their actions are! They did it because they viewed us as the criminal (for supporting the corrupt government of Saudi Arabia) far before they joined AL-Qaeda. ALL terrorists have this in mind, they do it for revenge and retaliation...if you mess around in the world do you expect people to love us...no...quite the opposite.

Yes it is stupid when they say that as a reason why we shouldn't be somewhere else. Some people just repeat what they hear and are incapable of understanding the world we live in.
