Why did 9/11 happen?

[the other mike]

It could be possible. I know in the 1980s America supported soldiers in Afghanistan who would later go on to form the Taliban.

We helped Saddam take out a million Iranians back then too with weapons and eye in the sky.

Groups like al-Qaeda, trained by the CIA.

Al Qaeda wasn't a large group. OBL went to Afghanistan to build roads in support of the warlords fighting the Soviets. The CIA wasn't involved.

The Taliban were children in the 1980s...war orphans. They didn't exist.

1994. The Taliban emerged in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar around September 1994. The Taliban are a movement of religious students (talib) from the Pashtun areas of eastern and southern Afghanistan who were educated in traditional Islamic schools.

I chose, "Some other reason", being, the US and allies went around Muslim countries thumping them, so they retaliated.

Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, ISIS, Houthi, ....

We go around stoning wasp nests and it makes for a good show but they always regroup into a new hybrid ..... it doesn't matter what they wear or call themselves

That was an extension of Manifest Destiny.

Hezbollah only exists to keep Israel out of Lebanon.

Some people did something.

We were attacked because we've been meddling in their affairs for over 40 years.

close to being right

Why did 9/11 happen?​

Because of Saudi support for America and US troops stationed in Saudi Arabia and in the gulf.

Aq number 1 target was the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.


Always keep in mind the overwhelming majority of victims of groups like Al-Qaeda and isil have been Muslims.

you prick, much of what you post is wrong, but you got this one close to right

Osama bin laden stated that he attacked the USA because our troops were in Saudi Arabia, holy ground. No infidels.

Bin Laden's goal was overthrow an replacement of the Saudi regime on the way to an eventual return of the old Ottoman Caliphate. All his actions were predicated on his attempt to have this happen.

Wrong.
Attacking the US would not cause the Saudi government to change.
Bin Laden disliked Turks and did not want a return of the Ottoman Caliphate.

OBL also said it was because of US support for Israel.

Like other miscalculations in history, Bin laden made a miscalcualtion on what an attack like 9/11 would do.

History is full of one side not being able to predict what the other side would do given a certain situation. Before World War One, Germany did not think Belgium would resist the invasion of thier territory, nor did they think that England would join the fight. They were wrong.

In World War Two, Japan thought a sneak attack on the US, followed by one decsisive fleet battle would force the US to seek terms. they were wrong.

Bin Laden saw the US withdraw from lebanon after the marines barrack attack. He saw the US leave Somalia after the "blackhawk down" incident. He saw zero response to the US Cole attack.

What he assumed was a strong enough attack on the US would lead either to a withdrawal from the area by the US, or a half assed response. What happened was neither. He did not get the result he wanted.

Bin Laden's goal was overthrow an replacement of the Saudi regime on the way to an eventual return of the old Ottoman Caliphate. All his actions were predicated on his attempt to have this happen.

Nope. OBL didn't want a return of the Ottoman caliphate.

Not true.
Only Mecca is holy.
There is no problem with US being in Saudi Arabia.
Osama said it was the Highway of Death he wanted revenge for.

why are we taking reports of what OBL said so seriously?
i mean, the guy was a terrorist.
those people don't speak in truths.

they are 2-faced. at least 2 faces.
