>>>But Pat Buchanan today said something to the effect that it has to do with our being in Saudi Arabia<<
Didn't hear Pat, but as you know ObL was from Saudi Arabia; when our troops were there he saw it as a trangression of mamoth proportions: the infidels on their holy ground. THAT is the source of his hatred, no matter how looney it sounds to us.
ok. "infidels invading his territory" is the kind of excuse that holds water. "hating democracy and all America stands for" doesn't. thanks.
