You can't do that, it would be like declaring war against Islam, since the Saudi are "custodian" of Muslim holly places like Mecca.
Furthermore, while most hijackers were Saudi and Egyptian, ISI, Pakistani secret services financed the attacks. But you can't really destabilize Pakistan either, since they have they are an nuclear power.
Basically, we are in a situation, I believe, where western nations are faking their war on terror, for various reasons (they can't tackle the Saudi issue, for instance). All the countries that were invaded/attacked by the west since 9/11, safe from Afghanistan, which was more or less warrant-able, had nothing to do with 9/11 : Iraq, Libya, Syria...
