Because they didn't like our support of Israel
True,why do you support such a country,which has been killing
our people for more than 60 years.using American weapons.
Quote:
our military deployment during the Gulf War
False,Ben Laden ,never mentioned the Gulf war,but he did mention
alot the existance of the US troops in the Gulf,which (this troops)
support the governments dictatorship in the area(as he thinks and I agree with him
about that).
Quote:
Likewise during the Gulf War the use of Bin Laden's forces were refused in favor of the US military forces, which he felt defiled Muslim lands. There was also a lot of fallout over him criticizing the Saudi government based on his views, which cost him his citizenship and family ties. He lost a lot from this and focused the blame solely on the US instead of Saudi government which actually exiled him.
Bin Laden never interfered in that war,and he didn't offer his help.
Bin Laden was always opposed to the Saudi government,but when the
war happened America took advantage of it to make a troops permanent existance,
which will protect the governments in the Gulf area,
from this perspective Bin Laden thought the real enemy is the USA,
so America brought that to itself.
Quote:
Regarding catching him, many believe that he might actually be dead. Not from US military actions but from what I believe was a kidney problem he had.
I don't think so,Al Qaeda would immediately declare about that,
this is not how they work,they don't hide their lost.
so be sure he's 100% alive.
Quote:
We have removed/killed a good number of high level Al Qaeda commanders/leadership though not some of the highest ranking ones
That's according to the American media and the US military declarations.
But Bin Laden said:around 98% of Al Qaed leaders are alive.
Quote:
We need to improve our reconstruction efforts a bit I think, to make sure a lot of the economic and educational factors that breed the kind of desperation that allows these groups to gain support are remedied. We should be building more schools, power plants
this efforts after seven years of war are
zero,Afghanistan never changed a bit.
Quote:
Saddam Hussein should have been removed from power after the Gulf War
Am i missing somthing here?but who made America as the world police.
Quote:
that was his second war of aggression and why he was allowed to stay in power afterwards I'm really not sure of.
The first war was supported by America,(he was fighting Iran)
Quote:
but none the less I do agree that it was a horrible solution that punished a great many people for the actions of one man.
so who would hold the responsibility about that?
and who is going to make it up to the many many victimes?
Quote:
Like I've said, the US has made it's mistakes,
so America should pay for this mistakes,or is America above the international law?
Quote:
but I do feel the underlying motivation for a lot of the terrorism in the region isn't for the good of the people there. A lot of it seems to be centered around debates of religious issues and the role Islam should play in government,
Yes,some of the orgnizations are like what you said,but Al qaeda not of this group.
Quote:
But I believe Bin Laden faces an idealogical crisis after the Gulf War where he was forced to either question his beliefs by either questioning a government that ruled with the kind of strict, fundamentalist interpretation of Islam that he himself advocated or simply blame a foreign power that did not support the same ideas and essentially made what was the easier and more comfortable choice for him.
No,Bin Laden believed,that America is an ally and a good supporter to the
Saudi government,so if you want to fight this goverenment you have to fight
who's standing behind it(America).
Also Osama Bin Laden is a millionaire so the easy solution would be ,to stay in your home,
and never live this hard life,But he choosed the hard and the right way.
Quote:
Now if you were to ask me why a man like this who really doesn't have the support of the people at large
He dosn't have the support of the government,but it dosn't represnts the people
in Suadi,many people there support him.
Quote:
While I don't think we're evil and malevolent as some of the more extreme factions tend to claim, I do think our policy has been poorly thought out and at times rather callous and mechanical in it's functioning.
many people in this area call America the Devil
really I'm not kidding.
I'm very very sure America don't know well about this area(middel east),
and America must never interfere in the issues of this area,(or any other part in the world)
and it shouldn't take the role of the police,because America itself
made alot of mistakes ,so now it's one of the criminals.
