I mean, the USA basically went to fight Afghanistan for 9/11, while staying best buds with Saudia Arabia. Like, not like the Taliban were good guys by any means, but as far as 9/11 goes, that wasn’t their fault.
They demanded Bin Laden, where then asked for evidence and then just attacked instead of handing over evidence.
Let’s face it, the US government didn’t want an actual solution, they wanted a show of strength. It was always about kicking someone’s teeth in in public.
If they had provided evidence they would have been giving an enemy nation evidence of the network of intelligence assets in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Those assets would have all been murdered by the Taliban and Pakistani ISI. The USA was unwilling to completely destroy their intelligence networks over this.
While the narrative in certain circles makes it sound like the Taliban was being reasonable, I doubt anyone in the intelligence communities or diplomatic corps are foolish enough to believe The Taliban were being honest about this
Remember when Saudi Arabia chopped a journalist into little pieces? I feel like they should be on the list

I mean given osama going into afghanistan was not so crazy. Going in and not trying then going whole hog into iraq. Now that was crazy stupid.
