Yet we’re still doing business with Saudi Arabia, who actively participated in planning the attack at a state level

The reason, same with Israel, is because the US needs allies in the Middle East. A lot of "shock and awe" was launched from bases in Saudi Arabia. Which is extremely unsettling. But it highlights why the US keeps these countries as allies.

None of this is true. He was an outlaw in Saudi Arabia and left it in the 1990s and never returned. The US though was still working with Alqaeda in Central Asia before 9/11/2001.

there were state officials sending video in DC etc. They’ve found evidence of all that after. State officials played a role in helping.
