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.
If Cliven Bundy had knocked down the Towers and the state of Nevada harbored and protected him, we certainly would have waged war on state the Nevada.....and we be justified in waging that war.
