James Taranto is right that it's not the AP's job to connect intervention and terrorism, but he's wrong in disagreeing with that notion:
Maybe because the terrorists were Saudi, not Afghani or Iraqi? Al Qaeda was formed to fight the U.S.'s strong influence in Saudi Arabia (we had stationed troops there and cultivated a relationship with the unpopular royal family).
Well, six years ago, America had no military presence in Afghanistan, and its presence in Iraq was limited to fly-overs. We were not spared terrorist attacks. How does the AP explain this?
