Sorry Ryan,but that is only partially true.You are right that we are hated because of our support for Israel.
Bin Laden however has also attacked Russia,a supporter of the Arab states and a critic of Israel.
In the Caucus region a jihad rages started by the Muslims in Chechnya.They twice invaded a Russian Federation state,Dagestan,and after their second expultion attacked Russia with three terrorist bombings starting a full fledged war with Russia.Their goal was to expand Islam into the Caucus region of Europe.Half of the invading Muslim force was commanded by a gulf Arab named Khattab.His mainly Arab foreign-volunteer jihadists are supported and trained by Bin Laden and the Taliban.Afghanistan is their lifeline.
This aggression has nothing to do with Israel,it has to do with weakness.They thought Russia vulnerable and attacked.We,like Russia, are also a target of opportunity for this murderer.
This is not a time for weakness and introspection.None of those victims deserved their death because of "US mideast policy".This is a time to focus on the enemy and not reasons why he doesn't like us.
After we take this attacker down hard you can ask "why" all you want.First we take this bstard down.It's a matter of survival.
Don't think that we are considered to be the Great Satan simply because of our support of Israel.It just isn't true.
