Bin Ladens rage against America

• One can ask, at this point, whether 9/11 or some
  similar tragedy might have happened without bin
  Laden to steer it. The answer is certainly not
  (Wright, pg. 332).
• He saw it (America) as the vanguard of a global
  crusade on the part of Christians and Jews to
  crush the Islamic resurgence (Wright, 208).
• This battle is not between al-Qaeda and the
  U.S., bin Laden would later explain. This is a
  battle of Muslims against the global Crusaders
  (Wright, 209).
• But the greatest disaster to befall the Muslims
  is the occupation of Saudi Arabi, which is the
  cornerstone of the Islamic world, the place of
  revelationwas sold out to the Israelis and
  Americans (Riedel, 57).

21
Bin Laden on the Palestine Question

• The main root of the conflict between our
  civilization and your civilization is the
  Palestine question. I stress that the Palestine
  question is my nations central issue. It was,
  therefore, a key factor that has, since my
  childhood, provided me and the free 19 men with
  an overwhelming feeling of the need to punish the
  Jews and those supporting them. This is why the
  incidents of September 11th took place (Riedel,
  130).

  attacks (Wright, 310-311)

  to be put on terror list or had entered the
  country 19 months before 9/11 (Wright, 311-312)
• CIA found laptop of Zawahiris closest political
  confidant in Azerbaijan, but would not turn it
  over to the FBI

46
Possible Reasons Why? (Wright, 312-314

• Sensitive information from the CIA may compromise
  their work with FBI, which could demand total
  control of a situation
• CIA was hoping to recruit some of the terrorists
  and use them against Al Qaeda
• FBI wanted to capture bin Laden for questioning
  CIA wanted to kill bin Laden before he became too
  big a threat

47
How America has changed since 9/11?

• Delays at the airport are longer, arrival time is
  earlier, and items being carried on are smaller
  (Fear of flying)
• Created a new cabinet department (Homeland
  Security, 2001)
• Declared a War on Terrorism that took us into
  Afghanistan and then into Iraq
• Repression of freedom exchanged for control of
  security, especially against suspected terrorists
  (Patriot Act)

  anyone who might be from the Middle East
