Well I guess you could say we did provoke Bin Laden. We allow our
women to be educated and not cover themselves up completely. We
allow our people to drink booze if they feel like it and to listen to that
evil rock and roll music. You are allowed to be Muslim, Catholic, Jewish,
Protestant, Hindu, atheist or whatever else you want in the U. S.
Our support of Israel doesn't help either. It pisses Bin Laden off
that we support a country that he would like to see wiped off the
face of the earth. All this stuff drives Bin Laden nuts, so yes, maybe
we did provoke the attacks.
