Afghanistan was invaded. Iraq was invaded. 23,000+ US troops are
injured. 3000+ are dead. 20,000 more troops are going into battle.
Has anyone yet stepped back a moment and asked the question that no-
one asked in the wake of 911?
Namely:
What did the US (govt and business) do in the Middle East in general
and in Saudi Arabia specifically, to motivate an organisation to fund,
train and set up 19 terrorists (almost all Saudis) to climb into
American airplanes, hijack them and fly them into various buildings in
an attempt to kill as many people as possible (as well as organize
dozens of other bombing attacks around the world)?
Has anyone pondered this question at all? Is there any curiosity to
get at the nub of the matter? Or is "cause they hate democracy", as
Bush so eloquently put it, still an adequate explanation for the
motivation for all that carnage?

The Iraq War invites lots of questions. We'll, hopefully, get all the
answers when the books are written 10-20 years from now.
That said, this discussion doesn't belong in this NG. Best to take it
elsewhere.
