That is ridiculous. OBL has no authority to tell the US that our military shouldn't be in Saudi Arabia. That would be like me telling China that they should stop buying property here and then when they don't stop, I go over there and bomb them. And in addition, when my neighbors play music, I kill them too. Would you say, "Rupert bombed China because he was pissed that they kept buying property in the US." ? No, you would say, "Rupert is a psycho who thinks it's up to him to decide what different countries can do."

OBL was a psycho. Do you know how many Muslims OBL and Al Qadea have killed? Do you think they have a good reason to kill thousands of Muslims? There is no reason. There is no justification. They kill anyone who disagrees with them. If you practice a different type of Islam than they do, they will kill you.

So it really is about "freedom". They don't kill people for any good reason. If you don't do what they tell you, they kill you. I would say that is all about "freedom". They want to take away everyone's freedom. If you convert to Christianity, they kill you. They don't believe in "freedom". They are terrified of it because if there was freedom in those countries, very few people would follow bin Laden's strict brand of Islam. Women may not want to wear a burka. OBL and Al Qadea have to use force and intimidation to get people to follow their rules. "Freedom" is a direct contradiction to everything that OBL and many strict Muslims believe in.
