The so-called 9-11 attacks by Saudi and Egyptian terrorists of the (originally Saudi Arabian) Al-Quaeda organization. In the ensuing war on terror, Saudi Arabia and Egypt were however carefully excepted in the retaliation actions by the US.
The war against Iraq, a country that had nothing to do with the 9-11 attacks, cost the lives of some 24,000 US soldiers between 2003 and 2014 (plus the lives of some 150,000 Iraqi civilians) - and created IS in the process.
