On the videotape, OSB states that George Bush has been misleading the American people by preaching the fact that al-Qaida "the terrorists" want to destroy our freedoms. OSB says "If that were the case why did we not attack Sweden? we are not against freedom as such"
It is the meddling of the United States in the Middle-East (air bases in Saudi Arabia (land of mecca), Qatar, Kuwait, etc. now apparently 15 new bases in Iraq, all of course to secure our oil supply and the oil conglomerate profits.
The other main reason is the obvious biased support of the State of Israel in the Mid-East conflict despite their brutal occupation of the Palestineans and using (American supplied) F-16's, Apache helicopters to suppress them. The suicide bombers in my opinion are an act of desparation. The Palestineans have no such weapons to fight back.
Bush gave hope by promising a 2 state solution by 2005, but instead much to Sharon's glee he has allowed Israel the go ahead to annex large chunks of the West bank (existing settlements), land that was suppossed to be part of this 2 state solution.
It was the Taliban regime that promoted a feudal society with non-existent freedoms, al-Qaida set up shop there (Afghanistan) essentially because it was a lawless country. Yet Bush and the media have succesfully spun the two together (even though the Oil Execs in Houston entertaining the Taliban delegation did not seemed overly concerned in dealing with an oppresive regime!).
Now with the tens of thousands Iraqi citizens killed, has that generated more goodwill towards America or more bitterness and hatred? Are the Americans now seen as occupiers instead of liberators? Is the current Iraqi government not seen as a puppet to the Americans in the Iraqi's eyes?
Don't get me wrong, I hope they nail OSB to the wall for what he did in 9/11 but at least (unlike others on this board) I can see why he and the Muslim world would be pissed at the United States.
