The 19 terrorists were individuals who did not represent the Govt. of SA or in the case of Pearl Harbor the Govt. of Japan.

That idea is mistaken, and is at the heart of your other mistaken beliefs. The terrorists were not individuals. They were the operational part of a militant wing of a much larger political movement that is trying to take over the Middle East. The 19 Saudis represented a movement that isn't the Government of Saudi Arabia just at present, but which very much WANTS to be the Government of Saudi Arabia, and is supported by maybe half the Saudi population. The Middle East in general, and Saudi Arabia in particular, have exported their civil war to us.
