@ApostatePerry Yes, Osama bin Laden's motivations for targeting the United States were largely rooted in his opposition to U.S. foreign policy, particularly regarding its involvement in the Middle East and Muslim-majority countries. Bin Laden was critical of what he saw as American interference in the affairs of Muslim nations, including U.S. support for authoritarian regimes in the region, military interventions, and perceived injustices against Muslims. Bin Laden believed that the presence of U.S. military forces in Saudi Arabia, particularly after the Gulf War in 1991, was a direct affront to Islam and an occupation of sacred land. He also condemned U.S. support for Israel and its policies towards the Palestinian people. These grievances, along with a broader ideological agenda to establish a caliphate and defend Islamic lands, fueled bin Laden's desire to target the United States and its allies. The 9/11 attacks were intended to strike a blow against what bin Laden viewed as Western imperialism and hegemony, and to draw attention to what he perceived as injustices perpetrated by the United States. While bin Laden's actions were primarily motivated by a desire to push back against perceived American aggression and influence in the Muslim world, his tactics of terrorism and targeting civilians have been widely condemned as unjustifiable and counterproductive.
