This man should not be allowed near nuclear weapons!

[Zenda]

More stupidity from you, where's my surprise?

Does that mean you didn't know? Bin Laden did offer help to drive out Iraq from Kuwait in 1990. It was the refusal, and the consequence that foreigners were allowed on 'Islamic' soil, that made him expand his activities. He was pretty unknown before that, here in the West.

You choose, selectively, to forget what the Taliban actually put into their first communiques to the US. "Prove it, then we'll help, maybe."

Is that what they literally said? Sounds like the situation needed some negiotation or diplomacy, then. Too bad your former president lacked such skills. Things could have gone quite different, for both Iraq and Afghanistan.

Anyway, is the refusal of a foreign nation to hand over wanted criminals sufficient reason to declare war on them? When there are no mutual extradition treaties? When you cannot, or will not, even show proof of guilt?

This relationship is one of the reasons ...

So, having relations is enough to get bombed?

Ah well, my point was about the official reason why the international community is interfering in Afghanistan. It is obvious that you and many others have their own personal reason for hating a country on the other side of the world.
