James - I find your statements incredible. America is being attacked for being rich and free? I don't think so
If these people are arabs - and i still don't have any proof of that - then we can assume they blew up the WTC in protest of americas support of terror and antidemocratic institutions - i.e. the palestinian israel problems.
Those terrorists origins that have been reported so far come from parts of the arab world that are very far away from Israel -- and also far away from the oil.
Don't forget James - if in fact Bin Landen is involved in this then the facts remain that the US Government sponsored and assisted him during the Russian occupation of afganistan.
No the US government did not, though it surely would have had he showed any concern about Afghanistan earlier. Bin Laden was entirely untroubled by godless communists conquering, ruling, and terrorizing a muslim country. Bin Laden and the Taliban showed their faces long after the real holy warriors, people who do not make holy war on women and children, had sent the commies packing. Bin Laden hates freedom, the freedom which leads to the US culturally dominating the middle east. He does not worry much about foreign military domination. The Soviet Union was a mere military threat, which did not endanger the souls of muslims, only their freedom and property. --digsig James A.
