And the taliban didn't finance or plan the attack on the US, they merely wouldn't give up those who did. Even if the Saudi government isn't directly financing salafist or wahhabist terrorism (and it's not clear that they aren't [1]), they certainly aren't doing anything meaningful to stop the massive amount of it that is coming out of their borders or out of the madrasas they've been funding all over the world. Afghanistan never had a strong diplomatic/business relationship with the US, so they get the hammer at the slightest malfeasance. As I said before, the diplomatic/business relationship with SA is more important than American lives.
