Can we all agree on this fine point? |
|
The Taliban gave refuge. That's it. They didn't plan the hit on us. They just allowed it to happen. Not even as culpable, arguably, as the driver in a bank robbery.
The guys that did this, and the guy that whipped them up were *tada* Saudis.
Now ..... what we *do* about any of this is what the debate's all about.

7. "They just allowed it to happen" |
|
just exactly 'who' allowed it to happen is very much open to debate, since the US never produced evidence.

9. the taliban was never party to the 9/11 plannning and did not "give refuge"... |
|
...in any active sense-- the Taliban has no international agenda at all, really. By the same token, the U.S. "gave refuge" to the 9/11 attackers, and arguably the U.S. refuge was the more operationally important one. Maybe we should bomb Florida instead.

Our difference, if any, is purely semantic.
