That didn't keep the U.S. from going back to the U.N. after 9/11, did it?
And that didn't prompt us to invade Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Pakistan, Algeria, etc. and all the other nations whose citizens carried out those 9/11 attacks, did it?
Yeah, we went there and said either YOU act or WE will. They didn't act, so we did. Your point is?

Funny how you are playing the hawk now that it suits your debating point of the moment. Iraq was a wake-up call to other nations still sponsoring terror that we weren't just uttering idle chatter about taking out terror-sponsoring nations. Now we see what countries clean up their act and which ones need additional attitude adjustments.
The citizenry has nothing to do with it. It's certain governments who were in cahoots with Al Qaeda. Like the Taliban. Were you against the invasion of Afghanistan?
