Ron, I’m pretty sure that none of the 9/11 guys was from Iraq. Most of them were, in fact, from Saudi Arabia, a country that we have, I’m also pretty sure, never bombed (whether we perhaps should have is another matter). And your point was?
"America's police choices have consequences. Right or Wrong; It is simply a fact that... American actions in Iraq are dominant staples of popular commentary across the Arab and Muslim world." - The 9/11 Commission Report
His point was that military occupation of Saudi Arabia is why AQ declared war on the US. We had tens of thousands of troops in Saudi Arabia while we spent a decade bombing Iraq, a muslim country, and these attacks on muslims and occupation of muslim holy land was not without effect. Are you as ignorant of the 9/11 commission report as Rudy?
