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?

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?

Not at all. The background of the Taliban government was a lot more complex than most people realize, though. And part of the reason for its rise to power was the ignorance and benign neglect on the part of the United States. It is events like Afghanistan that make me scrutinize U.S. military action so closely, because we rarely seem to do things effectively when it comes to long-term thinking.
