9/11 wasn't an attack by absolutely everyone that ever scoffed in our direction. It wasn't an attack by Iraq, it wasn't an attack by the Hamas, and it wasn't an attack by the Taliban. It was an attack by a very small extremist group, mostly made up and funded by Saudis but that happened to be planned in Afghanistan. After being attacked, we figured out it was OBL, and realizing OBL was in Afghanistan started bombing. Then as asked if we could invade and remove the al Qaeda. Afghanistan, understandably, said no. We got mad.
And as someone that's been called a "metro-sexual" one or two times, I must say that being interested in proper grooming, style, and wearing your empathy on your sleve does not necessarily preclude a man from being able to lead. Case in point?
