1. They never bring this up |
|
Saddam Hussein was NEVER a team player. He saw himself as the pan-ultimate Arab leader. Osama Bin Laden WAS A THREAT to Saddam Hussein.
The Islamic revolution would NEVER had happened if the US/Britain hadn't imposed the Shaw on an nascent Iranian democracy.
Dictators are easier to control and buy off than dictators. That's why global corporations HATE democracy.

3. Destroying our freedoms was never a concern to bin Laden... |
|
...because he didn't really 'hate us for our freedoms'. He hated us because we had military bases sitting in Saudi Arabia.
- And of course...he hated the 'secular' Saddam and his standing in the way of the middle east's religious fundies taking over that part of the region.

5. Nah...that's a stupid Bushie slogan... |
|
- Really...why would bin Laden give a shit that we are 'free'? His type of terrorism isn't about what we ARE...but what we're doing to his and other people around the world.
- Under Bush*...America has become an oppressive empire with hundreds of military bases all around the world. Is it so difficult to believe that some of those countries don't WANT our military on their soil?

... actually, a more prosaic reason for his hating the US is that the presence of our military in Saudi Arabia props up the current government, keeping him from taking control of the country (and its' resources).
That's if he's still alive of course.

8. because the radical deoband ideology hates |
|
western culture and its liberalism and permissiveness. But AQ's attempt to make our gov't crack down on our freedoms is part of their larger plan, to increase hatred of the US gov't.
