Regarding the way the world has changed, who has achieved the most with the world scenario, who has better profited form it? What country where the attackers - and no they were not from "Afganisthan". Why were those attacks planned, and try to think a little bit out of the "they hate freedom" box. Try to see what relation all these people have. Possibly, when you start to really think about it, you'll most probably discard this whole idea as nonsense, but as you do, please read my signature, below the pic.

Obviously, I'm being ridiculous, but just because someoen profits from a tragedy doesn't make them guilty of anything.
Who planned it? We've already established that it was Al Quaida. Bin Laden and Mohamed Atta. And obviously, everyone who carried it out went up in a fireball with the planes, so it's not like we can punish them.

What do nazi's have to do with terrorists? It's a whole different ball game than it was in that day, Rik. The Nazis ran a country, had an actual army, and had a clear leader for all of them. Terrorists don't.
No, not all the terrorists who hijacked planes were from Afghanistan, but they were TRAINED in Afghanistan and the organization that planned the attacks was based there, and supported by the Afghani government at the time. (Remeber them guys, the Taliban?)
Obviously 'they hate freedom' is a simplification, but it gets the point across. That hate us because we support Israel. They hate us because we are not Allah-worshiping mindless devotees to their religion, and because we have the freedom to choose who, where, when, and why we want to worship, or not to have any deity at all.
Which is why suggesting negotiations with them is so stupid. Negotiations implies giving them some of what they want, and what do the want but everyone else dead? I'm not going to give them that!
