while i can agree with most of that i have to say Bin Ladin never worked for the C.I.A. he didn't even work along side them. however he did fight with the taliban funding them as well with the pre northern aliance groups fighting russia. as for invading foreign countries we only (so far) have over thrown despotic govts who have committed genocide. i don't pride myself on being a humanitarian but they are destroying human resources which can be used to help get these countries out of third world status and closer to what the western world enjoys (excluding culture, they can do what they want about that).
