"it" was the deliberate, premeditated, cold-blooded murder of 6,000 Americans. I think we can take it as certain that at least 95% and quite possibly all of them had nothing to do with the grievances of those monsters. But they killed them anyway.

That's what "it" is.

But we are not exactly innocent either.
True. We placed American soldiers in sacred Saudi soil- -at the request of the government of Saudi Arabia (one of the more repressive and cruel governments on the planet) and for the purpose of protecting it and its people.

We have provided aid and assistance to to Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East.

We have also provided aid and assistance to many of the Arab states. The same ones that now revile us.

We have tried, with varying success, to broker peace agreements between Israel and the Arab states.

Life is like that.
This isn't about life. It's about death.
