Call Bin Laden a terrorist, but in my opinion, his hate towards the west is justifiable. I do not comply with him, nor support him in any fashion, but I must admit that he is commiting these acts for reasons understandable. However, he is not targetting the right people and is certainly not using the right tactics permissible in Islam. Islam is not a religion of civilian warfare - all attacks on any opponent should be in an organized, military form.
American money is being used to buy weapons to kill Muslims. This is a known fact. That will anger people (including me), and I think this (along with several other issues regarding the US poking it's nose into places it doesn't belong) is reason enough for Bin Laden to want to take action against the West and Israel.
