You don't know that the US supported Bin Ladin? At the time he was fighting Soviets in Afghanistan? This is not even a theory. Please do a google check and see for yourself. I read about this in The Economist some months ago. Here is one link: terrorismfiles.org "Born in Saudi Arabia to a Yemeni family, Bin Laden left Saudi Arabia in 1979 to fight against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.The Afghan jihad was backed with American dollars and had the blessing of the governments of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. He received security training from the CIA itself, according to Middle Eastern analyst Hazhir Teimourian."
