Source? Do you think we will ever "know for sure"? BTW, NBC said bin Laden
was short the insurance companies before the attack.

What about that don't you understand?
Also, I said religion is part of the mix, but where's the money from? Many
agree this is at least in large part retribution for the gulf war and that
was about money and oil. You've mentioned the gulf war yourself, but it's
clear what YOUR main agenda is:
"Well with all due respect, I think you are missing something. The problem
is that there hasn't been any diplomatic effort, really. The US and Israel
have made up their mind on what to do and they don't care what anyone has to
say. Now we have to put up with the brainwashing attempts by the Prime
Minister of Israel and other friends of Israel...."
