Waaah waaah a couple buildings were destroyed by a bunch of Saudis.
Now imagine what it feels like to have "terrorist"-colored skin and live in a country subjected to drone warfare. Every day is a 9/11 as the most powerful military in the world, funded to the tune of 3/4 of a TRILLION dollars PER YEAR, wages warfare from beyond the horizon against you and your loved ones.
