One of the Co-founders of Taliban,Likely to be Afghanistan New President

At Atlass33,

The Taliban  were not oppressed, and Bin Laden wasn't either. Bin Laden and the 19 hijackers were all from Saudi Arabia. I really don't know what you would expect from America. Do we get everything right? No, and no nation has. But sorry, it is a simple fact of evolution, you sucker punch anyone, and most are going to respond. Bin Laden didn't attack America because he actually cared about Islam. He wanted to start a fight between America and the east, BECAUSE HIS OWN FAMILY said no to him, when he wanted to be funded to fight against the Russians when they invaded Afghanistan. BIN LADEN WAS SIMPLY JUST ANOTHER RICH SPOILD ASSHOLE TRYING TO MAKE A NAME FOR HIMSELF.

People pick on my poetry, they tell me it sucks every day. Unlike Hitler, I wasn't denied entry into an art school. Monsters like Hitler and Stalin and Bin Laden don't care who the fuck they hurt. If you say to me, "Brian, your poetry sucks", I am not going to go on a killing spree, much less have a desire to become a dictator. 

The day of, the night of, and days after, when I spoke to my wife, and my mother, and my family. There were looks on their faces and loss of color in their faces and a tone of voice I had not heard at that level of fearful uncertainty. But that was my generation. I cant imagine for a second, what the allies saw en mass when the death camps, one after the other were liberated, and the world saw what Hitler had done. 

Even outside our human species, I really have never been fond of watching big alpha male male animals, like bull elephants, or elk or rams fight each other. But other species have an excuse. Humans to me really don't other than the fact we cannot understand we are all the same species.

All of us have a limited time breathing. All the speculation about post life and magical super heros that everyone claims is on their side pisses me off because I'd rather worry about now, not rivalries, not competition, not whom can beat up the other. But just have some days where I can enjoy my friends, my cat, a sporting event, without worrying about whom wants to kill me.

(bold mine)

That's completely wrong. Bin Laden used a significant chunk of the family fortune to support the Mujahideen. And he specifically attacked the US because he was incensed that US bases were being allowed on Saudi Arabian soil.

Your contention that bin Laden didn't actually care about Islam is stupid beyond words, as is your claim that he was 'trying to make a name for himself'. He had made a name for himself long, long before the 9-11 attacks.
