I think you missed the point of my question..yeah, its known and obvious that its been planning for ages..but my question to you all was why?!
Why did he attack America? Why not Germany? Why not England? Why not some other random country?

Federal appellate Judge Gilbert Merritt, who is currently in Iraq, said an Iraqi lawyer brought him documents that included the name of an Iraqi officer in that country's embassy in Pakistan who was described as "responsible for the coordination of activities with the Osama bin Laden group."
Communications director of the Institute for Public Accuracy -- and author of the recent article "Follow the Policy: Why So Long for Iraq to Comply?" -- Husseini said today: "Taking a clear-eyed look at U.S. policy not only explains why Iraq has taken this long to comply, it raises extremely troubling questions about the actual -- as opposed to stated -- goals of U.S. foreign policy through three administrations."
Dude...

And bush when he was with the CIA helped Noreaga become "president" of Panama
America is an idealistic and pragmatic nation. Whether it was the battle to dislodge the savage Nazi chokehold on continental Europe, to avenge the unprovoked Japanese rape of East Asia and attack on Pearl Harbor, or to push back the ever-expanding icy hand of Soviet totalitarianism, Americans have always responded with enthusiasm and determination to their leaders' calls to action in the name of freedom and international justice. As far as Iraq is concerned, nothing has really changed in that department. The original war against Saddam was a just one, and the majority of Americans responded positively to the Bush administration's initiative to overthrow the menace of Saddam Hussein's murderous dictatorship. Similarly, the American intent in post-Saddam Iraq is also just. And when it comes to the basic goal of bringing some version of political democracy, freedom and the promise of a better life to the Iraqi people, Americans have expressed similar support.

It was an "Islamic Jihad". They were suicide terrorists. They believe that the US is the devil, and that they will have great rewards in the after life for any destruction that they can bring against us.
Muslims do not believe that the US is the devil and they do not believe that by killing innocent people will they be greatly rewarded in the after life thats just a load of BS.
I have many Muslim friends and none of them would go blow them selves up along with loads of civilians for some 'great reward' whatever.
Also commiting suicide is totally against there religion, i aint no expert but from what Ive been told and heard from Muslims I know that any Muslim who does commit sucide dont get reward for it theres supposed to be a great punishment or some thing for suicide and the killing of any person is totally forbidden. This has NOTHING to do with religion.
Bush aint trying to get rid of terrorists his just trying to get his hands on oil. If he was truly trying to fight terror why dosent he do something about the Isreal/Palestine situation?
You are saying that its the goverments fault that the kids are becoming suicide bombers but when there being bombed for no reason by the army of Isreal what do you expect them to do? Stand there and take it? When ever you see them a pic or something of the conflict theres always a tank containing troops from Isreal or soldiers with AK's etc against some young boy with a few stones... Wheres the justice in that?
Oh god I have my work cut out for me.
If there's one thing I hate it's when people try to portray america as the righteous god sanctioned Sword of Gideon. Especially when they make everyone else look like spawn of satan. BUT ESPECIALLY when it's done in the most trite bromidic poetic manner
I'd hate to say it man but recall all those japanese and German doctors performed the hideous experiments during the war? Why do you think they were never put on trial? Where do you think they went after the war? Back to their homes in Mannheim, or Iwaki? You think they were given their just due (jail? Death?)
