    The U.S. also knew that Saudis were partially responsible for 9/11 and did nothing. The war wasn’t about terrorism or revenge. It was about control for oil. The U.S. government doesn’t give a crap about any of its people, so long as it’s national interests are kept safe and the status quo maintained.

      There’s government in SA and there’s Islamic religious authority. Two families agreed long ago to separate spheres. The religious authority has long been frustrated with the government and are the ones who attacked us on 911. Someone needs to break the religious monopoly in SA.
