news flash- there were no american troops in afghanistan before 9/11. There were no troops in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Palestine, Lebanon or any other America hating, terrorist supporting nation. Ossama did it because America is predominatley christain and also a democracy. aka our government is not built around religion unlike the completely facist taliban and their twisted version of the Coran. You can respect people for fighting for what they believe in, but Ossama? he's a coward and a murderer. i bet you would have a much different view if someone you knew died in the WTC.
