    Saudi Arabia, the people who

    Yes, in reference to “Saudi Arabia”, which refers to their government

    I added the comma for clarification, but that’s what was said

    They didn’t say “the people of Saudi Arabia did 9/11”

  You forgot the part where Saudi Arabia started courting American aid and literally expelled Bin Laden for being anti-American. That doesn’t make SA “the good guys” but it makes a huge difference in how your framing paints SA’s position and involvement with Al Qaeda during the 2000s. During the war on terror, SA was much more aligned with the US against Al Qaeda and Bin Laden
