This is what a terrorist on death row wrote in his blog :
Writing on his blog, he said, "This was not a crime of hate but an act of Passion and Patriotism, an act of country and commitment, an act of retribution and recompense. This was not done during Peace time but at War time.
I, ......... felt a need to exact some measure of equality and fairness for the thousands of victims " "

3 Questions :
(1) Do you think this terrorist experienced the same things as other terrorists do, who are vulnerable to recruiting propaganda, especially when they see their fellow citizens as victims of terrorism and so out of duty, they feel deaths need to be avenged and they do not see their victims as innocent but rather "guilty by association" ?
(2) Would he have become a terrorist if his fellow citizens were not terrorized and killed ?
(3) This guy became a terrorist by just watching one day of victims being killed, so can you imagine what happens in a situation where the killing goes on for days or months, how many terrorists could be recruited in such a situation ?
If a Norwegian, Anders Behring Breivik,
in peaceful Norway goes on a terrorizing killing spree targeting children and setting off a deadly bomb in Oslo due to his anti-left wing views,
is it surprising that some muslims in the middle east, Pakistan and Afghanistan might be vulnerable to being recruited as terrorists when western countries are raining down bombs on them, collaterally killing their loved ones ?

The US government in the past has gone to war due to perceived injustice even though no Americans were the victims of the perceived injustice as in the war between Iraq and Kuwait,
so is it surprising that Osama Bin Laden would want to go to "war" with the US government over perceived injustice due to the US government committing "atrocities" against fleeing Iraqi soldiers and the collateral killing of tens of thousands of Iraqi women and children ?

If a tiny, insignificant, minuscule british tea tax that only affected rich Americans who drank british tea and which led to cries of "taxation without representation" resulted in terrorizing and disfiguring innocent British civilians and American loyalists by American "patriot" mobs,
so is it surprising that some muslims might be adversely affected by US bombs raining down on them during the gulf war in 1990, which in turn resulted in Bin Laden starting a 10 year terror campaign to get US troops out of Saudi Arabia
as a result of Saudi dissidents being tortured for opposing the presence of US troops in Saudi Arabia following the carnage of the gulf war in which the US government was accused of not only massacring fleeing Iraqi soldiers from Kuwait but also air strikes that collaterally killed tens of thousands of Iraqi women, children and babies.
The US government's war against iraq in the 90s killed 86,194 men, 39,612 women and 32,195 children and destroyed 20,000 Iraqi homes, leveled schools and hospitals.
This is what Bin Laden saw; which he described in his numerous fatwas :
Iraqis, before the gulf war, had not killed any American intentionally and had not taken any military action against the US anywhere in the world and yet the US government decided to launch a war that collaterally killed tens of thousands of Iraqi women and children and massacre fleeing Iraqi soldiers from Kuwait
for the purposes of installing a hedonistic and cruel Kuwaiti dictatorship
In one US air strike : three hundred Iraqi children were killed by "smart" bombs in a Baghdad bomb shelter on February 16, 1991.
The blast caused a fire so intense that it flash-burned outlines of those children and their mothers on the walls; you can still peel strips of blackened skin-from the stones.
And in 1994, religious scholars safar al-hawali and salman al-awdah were tortured by the Saudi government which escalated the conflict between Osama
bin laden and the US government.
Osama's friends were tortured due to them being against the presence of US troops in Saudi Arabia.
Some of the conclusions reached from reading Osama Bin Laden's fatwas and from the first-ever television interview with Osama Bin Ladin which was conducted by Peter Arnett in eastern Afghanistan in late March 1997 :
(1) Osama Bin Laden read about the US govt. fire and atom bombing Japan in 1945 when Japan was already defeated as early as July of 1944 when Tojo resigned and Japan was negotiating concessions to the communists but FDR did not care about communists either killing tens of millions of civilians or that the crushing of Japan enabled communism to expand in Asia resulting in hundreds of thousands of US soldiers either dying horrifying deaths or being maimed, disfigured, deformed, blinded or paralyzed for life during the cold war.
(2) Osama Bin Laden read about US/Allied POWs in Japan and hundreds of thousands of Japanese children being terrorized, tortured and burned alive in the US government's fire and atom bombings of Japan and must have concluded that if FDR/Truman did not care about the plight of their own US soldiers captive in Japan who were being killed by the US government's atom and fire bombings of Japan and since FDR/Truman did not care about the lives of hundreds of thousands of Japanese children and babies, why should Osama bin Laden care about lives when strategic goals were more important
( this is how both state and non-state terrorists think and I do not agree with the way they think ).
(3) Osama Bin Laden read about the US government in the 50s overthrowing a democratically elected Mossadegh of Iran and eventually the Shah terrorized his own people in Iran, thanks to the military support given by the US government
(4) He read about the US government in the 60s, arming the Israeli government that used those very US weapons to collaterally kill Palestinian children and babies
(5) He saw the US government in the 70s using napalm, agent orange and carpet bombing Vietnam and Cambodia, collaterally killing hundreds of thousands or even millions of civilians
(6) He saw the US government in the 70s supporting cruel, murderous dictators like the Shah of Iran who used US government weapons to cruelly suppress and torture the Iranian people
(7) He saw the US government in the 80s siding with the "christian" militias in Lebanon, the very christian militias that massacred Muslims
Another example Osama Bin Laden gives is the UN, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International reports in 1996 that blamed the Israeli government using US government weapons to deliberately or carelessly kill women and children in the UN compound near Qana, a village in Southern Lebanon
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_shelling_of_Qana
(8) He saw the US government in the 80s supporting cruel dictators like Saddam Hussein
(9) He saw the US government in the 90s imposing cruel sanctions on Iraq resulting in UN reports stating that half a million Iraqi children died prematurely due to the sanctions
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_sanctions#Infant_and_child_death_rates
(10) He saw that the cruel Saudi dictatorship was being supported by the US government , the very dictatorship that tortured dissidents who opposed the stationing of US troops in Saudi Arabia
(11) He saw that the US government never left any country in which it had troops in ( example; US troops still present in Germany and Japan, even after the war had ended decades ago)
(12) He saw that warnings to the US government to withdraw its troops from Saudi Arabia were ignored
(13) He saw that the only way to get US troops out of Saudi Arabia was to launch a terror campaign
(14) He saw that his terror campaign against the US had failed and US troops still remained, in Saudi Arabia, 9 years after the gulf war had ended
(15) He saw that the only way to get the US government to withdraw its troops from Saudi Arabia was to launch an attack on the US homeland on 9/11/01
(16) He saw that the US government finally gave into his demands to withdraw troops, only after the 9/11 attacks, and US troops finally left Saudi Arabia in 2003, almost 13 years after the gulf war had ended
Placing US government troops in Saudi Arabia deeply affected Osama Bin Laden and the Saudi religious leadership because of the historical record of the US govt. in its dealings in the middle east and elsewhere.
An analogous way of looking at it would be the US government's involvement in Korea, Vietnam and Afghanistan because the Soviets had their "presence" in those countries and the US govt. was "afraid" communism would spread if the Soviets were allowed to have their presence in Vietnam, Korea and Afghanistan
and thinking along the same lines, Al-Qaeda does not want the US government's military presence in any Muslim country, especially "holy" Saudi Arabia because Osama was afraid the US govt would continue supporting the cruel Saudi dictatorship's crack down on dissidents.
So just as the US government was trying to prevent communism from spreading by being militarily involved in Korea, Vietnam and Afghanistan; Al-Qaeda wants to get "militarily" involved in preventing the US government's support of cruel dictators in the middle east.
THIS IS THE MAIN MOTIVATION FOR THE SEPTEMBER 11 ATTACKS : US GOVERNMENT'S MILITARY PRESENCE IN SAUDI ARABIA
and the subsequent imprisonment and torture of Saudi dissidents by the cruel Saudi dictatorship that provoked Osama Bin Laden to act.
In Closing :
Mar 24,1991 : US General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, the American commander of Operation Desert Storm, told reporters in Saudi Arabia the United States was closer to establishing a permanent military headquarters on Arab soil.
(AP, 3/24/01)
What eventually motivated Bin Laden ( I suspect ) to launch a terror campaign against US troops stationed in Saudi Arabia was for personal reasons :
one of the dissidents tortured by the Saudi dictatorship might have been a close friend of Bin Laden and that must have been the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back" and that torture was directly related to dissidence against the presence of US troops in Saudi Arabia.
If your close friends were tortured, what would you do if the torturers were not brought to justice and you had the resources to retaliate
or if your loved ones were killed and the perpetrators were not brought to justice ( I personally would forgive the torturers or killers since Jesus said to forgive but most people do not follow Jesus and that includes the US government ).
"Collective punishment" is the mark of terrorism.
Perceived injustice done by a small number of cops is what caused the LA riots in 1992 in which a mob took out their anger on the cops by killing 53 innocent people during the riots and thousands more were injured.
The American "patriot" mob took out their anger on innocent British civilians and American loyalists by terrorizing and torturing the British/American loyalist civilians for the wrong doings over insignificant and minuscule taxation on tea by the British Monarch. The tiny tea tax only affected rich Americans who drank British tea.
Its human nature to collectively punish those who have some kind of ties to the perpetrator; just as today in America, the Texas government punished the entire YFZ commune for the alleged crimes of a few individuals.
Targeting civilians and collective punishment can also been seen in the atom bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the fire bombings of scores of Japanese cities where hundreds of thousands of women, children and babies were deliberately burned alive for the wrongs done by a few in the Japanese government
I do not think the US government was wanting to deliberately burn alive Japanese children for the sake of killing children
but rather, "state terrorism" is used to achieve political goals, in this case the unconditional surrender of the Japanese government.
The difference between what non-state terrorists are doing today and the terrorism engaged by the US government in destroying Japan is in the numbers.
Non-state terrorists kill in the thousands whereas state terrorists like the US government (has been periodically in the past) kill in the hundreds of thousands.
The US government is not willing to abandon state terrorism as can be seen in the immense stockpile of nuclear "terror" weapons today.
Just as non-state terrorists say, the US government is saying the same thing :
by telling other countries that if they kill our children with a nuclear weapon, the US government has the right to kill all their children with the US government's nuclear weapons
which is the very definition of terrorism
with the only difference that terrorists kill by the hundreds or even thousands but state terrorism by the US government ( at least in the past ) has killed by the hundreds of thousands.
Another indication that the US government, just as terrorists, does not care about civilian populations in war zones can be seen by the extensive use of nuclear materials in ammunition.
During the gulf war , extensive use of depleted uranium resulted in a sharp increase in the incidence of child leukemia and genetic malformation among babies born in the decade following the Gulf War.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depleted_uranium#Iraqi_population
In a three week period of conflict in Iraq during 2003, it was estimated over 1000 tons of depleted uranium munitions were used mostly in cities.
The U.S. Department of Defense studies using cultured cells and laboratory rodents continue to suggest the possibility of leukemogenic, genetic, reproductive, and neurological effects from chronic exposure to depleted uranium.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_issues_with_war#Depleted_uranium_munitions
The fact that Belgium has banned the use of depleted uranium shows that at least one country has the conscience to care about children and babies in war zones where radioactivity from ammunition is clearly present
while countries such as the US, Israel, Britain and France (who do not care about the well being of children and babies in war zones ) have voted against restricting the use of depleted uranium :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depleted_uranium
In this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klEnAzSMF0M
the narrator says that just one depleted uranium shell emits 1,000 times the normal radiation in the atmosphere
and knowing this, the US government still keeps using depleted uranium shells, not caring about the long term health risks posed to children and babies in war zones
and just as terrorists think, the US government is more concerned about its strategic goals than the long term health and well being of children and babies in war zones
Reiterating :
http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/Tempe
Before the American revolution , the presence of a tiny tea tax resulted in terrorism and torture which created burns that resulted in infection and a slow death.
A tiny minuscule british tax on tea that only affected rich Americans resulted in American mobs terrorizing and torturing their innocent fellow loyalist Americans and British citizens.
So if a tiny tea tax that only affected rich Americans can cause terrorism,
is it surprising that the collateral deaths of loved ones, children and babies due to bombings by western colonial powers could result in terrorists exploiting the situation in recruiting the loved ones of the victims of those bombings ?
Terrorism arising from foreign forces occupying or taking native lands can also be seen here in America where Native Americans resorted to terrorism when massacres against Native Americans occurred while their lands were taken or occupied by the American colonists.
I am not justifying anything done due to human nature; I am just explaining that it happens and the only way to mitigate or prevent it from happening is to avoid or prevent the casualties in the first place so as it prevent the cycle of violence
Writing on his blog, he said, "This was not a crime of hate but an act of Passion and Patriotism, an act of country and commitment, an act of retribution and recompense. This was not done during Peace time but at War time.
