New Their Soviet experience made them brave
They are just giving the US a "solid" target. Before, it would have been like going after the Mafia, now it is like going after a State.

They did have a legit complaint that they have not seen any evidence that points to Bin for these attacks. However, there may be something from the prior attacks.

New Living in afganistan made them brave.
Its not just the Soviets. And, in fact, the Soviets *took over* Afganistan, pretty easily.

Lest we forget, only Pakistan, and the US support to both Pakistan and the rebels allowed them to keep any pressure on the Soviets.

This time, they don't have *any* border to run across to hide - just to try and hide in the population.

The population of Afganistan is trying To Get Out. They saw the last war. This one will be much much much worse.
