You can only import one side of a party at war, not both. If you do you import the conflict itself. In a sense the attack on the WTC has everything to do with the US allowing the immigration of two conflicting parties into the US.
We have immigrants from both sides of several different conflicts within the US. Occasionally they go after each other but to the best of my knowledge, nothing that can be compared to 911.
That being said, it seems more likely to me that bin Ladin's real problem is with the House of Saud. Striking directly at the House of Saud is not feasible right now, but we support the House of Saud, so we become a target. And the Palestinian issue is merely a cover, sufficient for the naivete that runs rampant in the Middle East... Corrupt and despotic Arabic kingdoms are the real problem.

The fate of the Palestinians, one way or the other, will not line anyone's pockets
But whoever replaces the House of Saud, will be in control of trillions of dollars in oil assets...
