I realize that you may have difficulty understanding this, but there is
a difference between attacking military targets of people trying to
destroy you, and attacking innocent civilians from a country doing you
no harm. Laden, among others, were among a population in Afghanistan
being systematically poisoned (literally) by the Soviet Union. They
begged the United States for help, and the United States gave them
weapons and training to stop the Soviet's illegal weapons. Not to blow
up buildings occupied by innocent civilians.
