the Saudi Arabian government is known to give financial support to terrorist organizations. Why are Afghanistan and Iraq and not Saudi Arabia a target if the US government really is concerned about terrorism?.
because the saudi royal families are in bed with the power elites in the US where as the taliban were really screwing with the agenda by cutting out heroin production and the iraqis were selling oil to the chinese, which really wasn't on at all.

Are you serious? The reasons given were "they were trained in afghanistan" and "they had WMD".

The funniest/tragic part of this thread, is the fact that a few very intelligent people wrote intelligent responses.. And there was also a couple other responses...
And no one hit the nail on the head.
"A plain and simple question, any war agenda has maximum priority, in this case it is against terrorism, so surely the root of this problem in all forms should be tackled."
Everyone mentions the byproducts and side effects. No one even considers the underlying, and most important aspect of the whole situation.
The War on Terrorism, is not a War on Terrorism, it's a war against you. Me. Your neighbor, your boss, your sister and your grandpa. The war on terrorism is simply the solution, to a manufactured problem that created a reaction from the people.
"A new pearl harbor" as some Bush cronies would call it, albeit prophetically, considering they spoke of it a year before it's fruition.
A way to rapidly expand military and military based spending, and decrease the rights and power of the average person. Tightening their stranglehold not only on the American citizen, but any global citizen. It also became our new enemy, a society cannot exist without an enemy - or so 'they' say.
To come here and believe it was merely about oil, or drugs, is failing to grasp the greater picture. For those are simply side effects and byproducts of an original goal. But they are beneficial side effects and byproducts, profit is only a side bonus, to control and power... a "secondary" if you will.
How anyone can look at the entire timeline of events, and all the evidence that has come to light as well as actions that have been taken in the last 8 years - and not come to the conclusion that it was all manufactured. Is beyond me.
