Contradicting himself doesn't so why should the facts.

Historical facts get in the way of politcal ideology, it's a problem afflicting both sides.

Truly, the density is amazing. Especially since you also quoted the question:

"How did Osama bin Laden, who during the Soviet-Afghan war viewed the United States as a friend of Islam, become America's most vehement enemy?"

Of course this had nothing to do with article, but don't let that stop you.

Speaking of dense...do you realize that the Arab way of war is violence, and the title of the article I quoted is "Bin Laden's Faith Is a Pretext for Violence[/b]
??

The article following the original is related, and purposely follows the original article. I simply brought up a quote from it, saying that most of this mess we're in could have been prevented from various sources, from prior admins to the FBI/CIA cooperation, and things may have been different today, hell we most likely wouldn't even be having this discussion.  

Of course, if you hate the truth, you're naturally going to feel compelled to shoot the messenger. Go ahead. If it "feels good do it". :rolleyes:
