That doesn't justify collective punishment, which is essentially people who condone(d) the attacks on Afghanistan are doing.

I don't think he actually condones the collective punishment of the Afghan people for crimes purportedly commited by the Taliban and Al-Queda. I think he's just regurgitating the reasoning presented by others for attacking Afghanistan (where Al-Queda was based) and not Saudi Arabia (from whence the attackers hailed, but a significant oil producer and supporter of the US economy). It's one thing to understand the reasoning, and another to agree with it.
