I think we would have been attacked no matter who was in office.
We must remember that we funded these same people back during the 80's when Russia was invading them. We trained them, gave them weapons, everything they needed. We helped to run Russia right out of their country.
and then they got bored, with all that training and wepaons they had to find something to occupy their time, and why not bite the hand that feeds you?
I remember seeing pics of I think Pakistan from 9/11, they had run into the streets and were cheering that America had been attacked and what struck me the most is seeing them wearing clothes that had been donated to them by people here. One child was wearing a Chicago Bears shirt, I dare say they didn't buy that over there.
