The Taliban were funded by Pakistan,Saudi Arabia and the United States.

So why would Bin Laden want to usurp or intimidate the Saudi Royal family and the governments of Pakistan and the United States?

The same Saudi Royal family and the governments of Pakistan and the United States who had supported and funded the Taliban.

The same Taliban that was supposedly protecting Bin Laden.

The same Taliban that was oppressing the poor, starving, war racked people of Afghanistan.

Al-CIA-da's objectives are all to clear.


The reality is.......

Bin Laden protects the hegemony of the Saudi Royal family(by pretending to be against it).

Having 15 fictitious hijackers from Saudi Arabia gave the excuse to the corrupt House Of Saud to crack down on its own democratically deprived people.

It is the House Of Saud which is conservative,unelected and mysogonistic.........A regime that breaks the very core tenets of Islam.......whilst all the time claiming to uphold these very same tenets!

It is the Saudi people who want change....but for the better........free elections,equal rights for women and Shia Muslims and Christians,open and fair criminal trials..............

It is in the interests of the House Of Saud,Bin Laden and family,the Bush administration and western governments in general that this change does not take place.

And that is why you have 9/11/01.
