Al Qaeda was not a sovereign nation. The Taliban government of Afghanistan might be completely deplorable, and they might have allowed Al Qaeda to operate within its sovereign territory. Going to war with the whole nation of Afghanistan was as justified and logical as it would be to declare war on the entire state of Nevada if Cliven Bundy stages the armed revolt against the government of the United States he has been threatening.
And, since what became Al Qaeda was essentially a Pentagon pet project in the 80s, a war against them should have included the imprisonment of Ronald Reagan and everyone in his administration who armed and groomed this group to cause the deaths of 3000 Americans. The blood of those innocent people is just as much on their hands.
