It's not a matter of belief. Belief requires no evidence. The FACT is that the US has new bases in Afghanistan, Turkmenestan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan.
The action in Afghanistan was leaked 4 months before 9/11 even occurred. These are actual facts. You don't have to believe them and I don't care if you do because I know them to be true.
And you accuse me of acting on blind belief? LOL...Wow!
