The "withdrawal" from Afghanistan the author talks about did not lead to 9/11. The 2001 invasion and occupation of Afghanistan by the US and its allies including Australia was not a response to 9/11 despite claims to the contrary regularly parroted in our media. Even if the events of 9/11 had occurred as the official conspiracy has it, the invasion would still be illegal in international law.

The topic is too important to be left to those whose sentiments outrun their knowledge of the facts.
