Other way around. Al Qaeda were funding the Taliban, who therefore tolerated their presence in turn. Most our terror threats are home grown and there hasn't been an Afghani involved in a terrorist attack outside Afghanistan for about 25 years. They're nearly always Saudis or from the UAE. IIRC 22 of the 23 on 9/11 were Saudi. All the top men in Al Qaeda are Saudi's too. They've got the money to fund the attacks and are at the forefront of spreading Wabbism. And given how big a human rights abuser Saudi is, it is funny how they've never been mentioned as a possible for invasion.Originally Posted by Win2Win
