^^As I said you can’t read properly. Your comprehension skills are fucked. I have the example of the Kyoto Protocol to demonstrate the fundamental irrationality of bin Laden’s publicly stated grievances. The Hyoto Protocol was not a reason for 911. US stationed in Saudi Arabia was not a reason. The reason metaphysical war against modernity and what they perceive as American “culture” of consumerism, secularism and everything unIslamic and at odds with a fundamentalist Islamic worldview that sees Islam as a force of conquest that aims at the establishment of an Islamic state as a political entity and geographical sovereign entity. And the internationalist agenda of extending this territorial entity over the whole of the earth.n be found in the fundamental ideological belief system of al Qaeda and international jihadists.

This military conquest of other peoples and their forced submission to Islam and the Islamic metaphysical system is seen as a “little holy war” - the “greater holy war” being the spiritual submission of the self to the objective, universal system of Islamic monotheism. The acts of terror are seen as formalised rituals that give substance to the greater inner struggle or “greater holy war”. Radical Islam manifested as an internationalist and anti-modernist form is a metaphysical and spiritual war against the individual and all of mankind. This is the “reason” for 911 and international jihadism.
Regarding Buckley, I don’t like Buckley - I’ve seen the interview in the video you posted before. I will speak for myself; not Buckley. And yes, Bogdanor is one of a number of scholars who have exposed Chomsky as a systematic liar and historical revisionist. The book “The Anti-Chomsky Reader” chronicles Chomsky’s career of deception and academic malpractice.[/quote/]
If this is true then why wasn’t another country whose culture resembles the same thing attacked? Why attack a country as big and as powerful as the U.S.?

No it wasn’t the main reason for the attack on the U.S. Maybe the killings of their people over years may have something to do with it? But this can’t be or it would fly in the face of your foreign policy ideology were the U.S. gets to take everything for themselves as long as it is in their interests even if they have to use force.
As far as Bogdanor is concerned. His book is based on falsehoods so it is not accurate to say the least.
