Okay. An analogy. If someone kills my neighbor, and I use his death as a justification to attack a cop. I didn't "help" my neighbor. I used his death to justify my own violence. Rightly or wrongly.

In that analogy I "care" about my neighbor's death, because I use it as a grievance. Which is the first point I made about Bin Laden.

I responded to your post inferring that it wouldn't cause more terrorism. I don't think there's evidence that Bin Laden did anything because of the Palestinians. He said on camera that it was because of our occupation in Lebanon. More likely it was because he believed the Bushes had corrupted the House of Saud.

Osama bin Laden expressed strong grievances against the United States regarding its support for Israel and its policies in the Palestinian territories. In his "Letter to the American People," published in November 2002, bin Laden criticized the U.S. for backing the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestinian territories, which he described as "one of the greatest crimes." Also, I implied that US involvement WOULD create more terrorism. I don't know how I wasn't being clear.

I get the analogy. Thing is, it's not what happened, and he never mentioned the Palestinians. He was the CIA's guy in Afghanistan during the Russian invasion. When that was done, the CIA abandoned him. Then he gets disowned by the Bin Laden family. The guy had a bone to pick with a lot of people.
