I did history gcse, I'm doing it for a-level too. It's quite hard, but really interesting. ^_^

If you really think about it, it's actually America's fault for what happened

What's your reasons?

It was all to do when America was "with" Bin Laden helping him fight other countries and that etc. and it was america who helped them. If we never helped them there technology and weapons probally wouldnt of been as advanced and the planes would probally never of happened

That's kinda true, but what it really was was the CIA trained and funded the Mujahadeen Guerilla fighters in the 1980s against the Soviet Union invasion of Afghanistan, the Mujahadeen became the Taliban and Bin Laden formed Al Qaeda, and now our soldiers are out in Afghanistan fighting and being killed by the people the Yanks trained. Crazy sh!t.... And this "Terrorist Bible" that people keep banging on about it actually a modified version of the CIA training manual which they gave to the Mujahadeen.....

 

So, yeah, the US has brought this down on themselves in many ways, unfortunately, they've also brought it down on us as well.... <_<

Thats factually correct, but I was reading that just before the 1st gulf war Bin Laden offered to defend the Saudis from a possible attack from Sadam, and help drive him out of Kuwait. However the Saudi King went with the US option, this really pissed him off and its another reason he now hates the US, along with US forces being on Saudi soil in the first place. Bin Laden had successfully driven the Soviets out of Afganistan with US weapons. The US president at the time was George HW Bush Snr. :mellow:

 

Makes you wonder now that how can Bush Jnr make a link from Sadam to Bin Laden, when 15 years ago Bin Laden was trying to get rid of Sadam. :huh:

Bush is a 100% ****wit that's why

 

Saddam Hussein and Bin Laden are complete opposite ends of the scale in terms of Islam, Bin Laden is a radical islamist and Saddam Hussein is a secular muslim who is against islamic fundamentalists, Saddam Hussein allowed other faiths to practice in Iraq such as Christianity, he had christians in his cabinet, he was very liberal when it came to gambling and alcohol, he butchered Shiites who tried to bring Islamic extremism to Iraq, him and Bin Laden were TOTAL opposites and the idea that the 2 would collude is about as credible as a WW2 bomber on the moon :rolleyes:

Exactly. There was no link between AQ and Saddam, in fact, Saddam was pretty good at keeping Al Qaeda OUT of Iraq and the Islamic zealots under control. Saddam's was authoritarian, but his power was from the military as opposed to the religious end... When the US got rid of Saddam, all they actually achieved was doing what Bin Laden wanted...

 

Stand up job, I must say..... <_< Laughable really innit...? When it's supposed to be an alleged "war against terrorism", to get rid of the one guy in the region who you pretty much KNOW aint gonna be a friend or confidante of Bin Laden... Thank fukk we didnt have an idiot like Bush as President in WW2, he'd've probably invaded Russia instead of Germany and now we'd probably all be speaking sodding GERMAN and doing Nazi salutes...... <_<

 

I could write pages about what I think about this issue but what I shall say is - it was awful
