> Well after a decade of US military occupation of "Saudi" Arabia...

Having a base in a foreign country is not the same as an occupation - especially when the base is there with the permission of the foreign country, because they want your support against other foreign countries.

The "permission of the foreign country" is the puppet dictatorship that the US put in to rule that country. A country which is named after the puppet dictators family.

It was as clear an occupation as you can have.

Obviously the 15 Saudis who flew planes into the Pentagon and World Trade Center had different ideas from you about the US's former military occupation of their country. Which resulted, within two years after 9/11, with the US ending military occupation of "Saudi" Arabia.
