I mean just read the comments, its like they thought Al-Queda was in Iraq before the US invasion!

FYI
Saddam despised terrorism, there were absolutely NO terrorist cells in Iraq during his "iron fist" rule. It was only true when the US invaded, this created a power vacuum mixed with Anti-America ideology with the already unpopular perception of the US in the Middle East.

But away, the sheer existence Al-Queda is still America's fault. If we didn't abandon Afghanistan after used them in the proxy war against the U.S.S.R. there would be no Al-Queda today. Instead of cutting and running, we should have invested our interests in bettering Afghanistan for bleeding the USSR out of money; ending the cold war.

In a sense this is kinda like Karma, we used Afghanistan to bleed the U.S.S.R. out to bankruptcy and dumped them when they were no use to us. Now they are doing the same they did to us as they did to the Soviets.

For every 1 dollar Bin Laden spends, the US has to spend 1,000,000. Bin Laden said, and I'm paraphrasing here, "As soon as the US declares victory over Al-Queda, I will send 2 Mujahideen to the furthest point East. They will plant a flag 'Al-Queda', and the US will be obliged to come"

Its sad when you think about it, because its true. It costs Bin Laden pretty much nothing to send a few guys out to start a "terrorist training camp", but for the US to pursue them, the US must spend Millions; sending air plane carriers, recon teams, risking American lives, etcetera...

Bin Laden stated that his goal is to bankrupt America, and as of now he is succeeding.

Its important to know why they hate us.
