3 9/11 was a monstrous crime, not an act of war, and could not conceivably justify war in retaliation. The UN issued a resolution which in effect supported the USA in its subsequent invasion of Afghanistan. It did so, in my view, because the aggrieved nation was the USA. If, instead, France had been the victim, the Louvre being destroyed in an analogous terrorist attack with, we may suppose, a similar loss of life (around 3,000 people), I feel sure the UN would not have supported France in a retaliatory invasion of Afghanistan.
