One of those was on afghan land, while the other was on United States land. So both of those assessments are correct.

Bin laden stated goal was to weaken the great Satan (us) to help along Muslim dominance in the world. We don't have to guess at this. He said so. So to blame us for the actions of this evil freak is truly depolrable.
