Bin Laden did not attack us because we make movies in Hollywood that he does not like. Are you certain of that? I'm sure Bin Laden doesn't like The Running Man 'Vant a light?

Tim -- we have been propping up Israel as long as I can remember. An so bin Laden attacks us. Even if you think this is a legitimate reason 1 - It is only part of his reason, and not one he mentioned much before 9/11, and 2 - It is not an attack on bin Laden, or even on Arabs in general unless you consider Israel's entire existence to be illegitimate an a attack on Arabs. bin Laden probably does think that way. I do not. Then we supported Saddam in his bid to destroy Iran. We supported Saddam when it looked like he might lose against Iran, and we didn't really provide massive support. Tim
