All this for what? Well as near as we can tell it's because we had a military base on Saudi Arabia's soil. Of course this was by mutual agreement by the Saudis and our own government, but that didn't matter.

Please don't forget our egregious sin of assisting Bin Laden in fighting the Soviet Union.

There is know way of predicting when someone which we send arms to will turn terrorist against us. Did you yourself foresee this happening? Did you have some sort of special insight into OBL? Should we not have helped the Afghani rebels fight off the then Soviet Army seeking to expand its own borders? Anyone can have 20/20 hindsight...
