One has to look at the events that led up to 9/11 and other atrocities to understand why someone may be radicalised. The Bin Laden family have for decades been a huge building contracting firm. Osama Bin Laden was a normal brother in a hugely wealthy family until two refugee camps were set upon and all the inhabitants massacred. This is what turned Bin Laden from a normal member of a family of building contractors into a malignant, murderous terrorist.
That's not any excuse for what the man did and I abhore his reaction. As many rightly do.
He had the money to then launch a full scale assault on the western world.
When potential extremists are targeted, this is the history they are told.
I stress I absolutely do not condone his actions or the subsequent war on western civilisation but this is one example that is used to radicalise people.
A big, sorry mess, the lot of it.
Bin Laden has a lot of history. What refugee camps are you talking about? I knew he wasn't happy when the Saudi's invited the US onto "holy" soil, instead of the Mujahidin, to kick Saddam out of Kuwait in 1990.
Also it wouldn't be that hard to fall out with the US criminal Republican Neo Cons with the likes of Rumsfeld, Cheney, Wolfowitz etc and last but not least the Bush family who are as you know are in bed with the Bin Laden's. What's there not to like?
