Hi,
If you have read any of his writings or listened to his speeches, then you know all that is happening in Irag & Syria is according to his plan.
He wanted all Westerners out of their Holy Lands. That meant from Oil workers to everyone associated with the West in any way. To do this & make the people rise up, Turmoil must be created, a war started hence 9/11.
Bin Laden Hated Saddam Hussein, who was a Sunni but a Secularist that cared more about power & money than religion.
He also hated the Shia part of Islam, called it an aberration and wanted it & all Shia's destroyed.
He hated Assad in Syria & has called for the Overthrow of the King of Jordan.
All this sounds really extreme & crazy beyond Insanity, but this is what he wanted. Try & find his writings in English if possible, it is all there. He may get what he wanted after his death.
It is too bad our leaders did not learn the lesson of Vietnam.
