The Americans are not perfect but they hadn't done anything to Afrghanistan which is the only country Bin Laden should be protecting really,so I don't see why he went for them really. |
It wasn't the first time the US used military action against Iraq though, they also did in the Gulf War after Iraq invaded Kuwait, after which economic sanctions were imposed which was in part responsible for thousands of deaths. And Bin Laden was Saudi I think and most of the hijackers were also from there which is why they were so angered about the American intervention in Saudi Arabia
