Speculation that Osama Bin Laden killed

JUKEBOX said:
Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is the Taliban fighting for? Are they mad at Americans because of the American's support of Isreal? On that note, why does the Taliban hate Isreal? Because they are Jews?

They fight for ideology, a hatred for "Western decadence", for passed wrongs they feel were committed against themselves and their families by the West, etc. It's a hate group that is lead by charismatic sociopaths that use propaganda and promises of a greater purpose to recruit lost souls and pervert an otherwise peaceful relgion into a weapon.

At least thats what I thought prior to reading the last few pages, turns out they are just looking for a big bear hug and a couple extra marshmellows for their hot chocolate.

Uh, cart before the horse here. Your friend is being shot at everyday by 'terrorists' because he is INVADING ANOTHER COUNTRY. Would you not do the same thing if the US were being invaded? Now that Bin Laden is dead, the troops can come home.

Does not apply here.

I know we did not literally point a gun at them or give them hugs, it's called metaphorically speaking. I guess some of that is lost with you. We all know there were other reasons they were mad at us. But you are stating the only reason they are shooting at us is that we are shooting at them when that is not the case.

You are making the ignorant statements if you truly believe that terrorists can be won over with love and kindness.

So why were they angry enough with us to put two passenger jets into the World Trade Center towers, one into the Pentagon (which has been speculated to have not been the original target, but a target of convenience as they weren't going to hit the assumed target of the White House/Capitol), and one into a Pennsylvania field (that was destined to end up in the other Government building that the other plane was supposed to hit)?

This article does a great job talking about it. At least read the first section.

Why Do They Hate Us So Much? America's New Problem With Terrorism
 
For someone who is of such a high moral standard in terms of the OBL situation, he sure isn't in other public comments.
