There are easy answers to this that have nothing to do with conspiracy. OBL and his cohorts trained and planned for 9/11 in Afghanistan, where they also sought refuge after the attack. The Taliban, their patrons, refused to turn them over to us after the attack. As for Yemen, the 2000 USS Cole attack prompted the first drone attack there in November 2002. Our attacks since then have been limited to drone strikes against AQAP.
The real question is why we attacked Iraq.
