So why bother attacking a country they "rule by proxy"? Seems a bit pointless.

Specifically the Israeli's were involved with 9-11 but not in the way you think! Israel, on at least 3 occasions gave the US authorities warnings that their intelligence network had picked up threats towards the US government and possible aircraft hijackings. This was reported for several days in the aftermath of the tragedy and then died down to be replaced by the anti Jew propaganda that seems to proliferate everywhere these days!
Just like our good friend Buster here who has now even apportioned blame on Israel for the assassination of JFK! Are you really going to convince us that it had nothing to do with LBJ/Bush/Nixon and the 'military industrial complex' and that Israel was behind that??? Killed for not going to war, for wanting to reveal the truth about aliens, for wanting to issue government bank notes, yes I can believe all that but to honestly state Israel was behind the assassination of JFK is complete and utter stupidity!

Like Benny said "We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq," Ma'ariv quoted the former prime minister as saying. He reportedly added that these events "swung American public opinion in our favor." 9/11 just made it easier to get Americans to want to go to war fighting Israel's wars for them. All the politicians they bought need to do is point their finger and say terrorist.

Israel wanted JFK out of the way because he wanted to keep them from getting nukes not to mention he signed an EO which would have ended the Federal Reserve which has always been run by a dual national Israeli. Not to mention the Israeli government was running around saying that Kennedy should be shot. LBJ was an Israeli lackey and the attack on the USS Liberty proved that when he wouldn't allow any of our ships or planes to defend it and he also said he wanted that ship to go to the bottom.
Israeli orders kill JFK
Yea lets pretend I could have fit all that extra (2 Emeriti and 1 Lebanese) in the title.

If folks think back, Bush gave the Taliban an ultimatum and I'm sure he never expected them to follow up with it. I always wished they had though. It would have called his bluff and slowed his roll on the spot, with egg dripping down his face. Bush had demanded they hand over Bin Laden (Whom the US openly wanted well before that and even Clinton had looked at assassinating at least once). Predictably, their manly 'tude couldn't allow for that sort of challenge and it wasn't even considered. War was inevitable and so, it really was an offer akin to a cat letting a mouse think it has an escape.
The Taliban's ambassador to Pakistan, Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef, said at a news conference in Islamabad, "Our position in this regard is that if the Americans have evidence, they should produce it." If they can prove their allegations, he said, "we are ready for a trial of Osama bin Laden."

I think the OP's question is moot - the US was clearly going to use bin Laden's alleged involvement to justify overthrowing the Taliban no matter what, and the nationality of the hijackers wasn't going to make any difference to that, in my opinion.

Tim Osman, as he was known in the CIA, was the perfect patsy. You have one of your own take the blame and you keep him constantly one step ahead of the hunters, he's never caught, he never talks.

Until you catch him and kill him one day after no one has seen him in ten years, without showing anyone any proof you've done it, and then you dump his body overboard in the middle of the night.
But they did call his bluff: the Taliban agreed to hand over bin Laden - as long as the US provided the evidence they said they had of his guilt.
