From the CBC:

Nobody who was killed on 9/11 deserved it. It has nothing to do with wealth versus poverty. In this particular case it has to do with a hateful ideology that has attacked people around the world...

The fact that Afghanistan became a failed state, you know, to the point where an Islamic-Fascist regime set up camp in the country; that kind of situation bred a threat... it's the right thing to do to help countries so that we don't get into that situation.

The major threat is still Islamicism... Al Qaeda and those organizations, they hate us regardless. It doesn't matter if we're in Afghanistan or not.

We're not being attacked because we are in Afghanistan; we're in Afghanistan because we were attacked.
