Lorax, I agree this was OBL's claims, but the reasoning of a mad man is not as important to me as is the legitimacy of the complaint and the manner of the response. He makes it sound as though they were an occupied country and tanks were parked on the lawns of holy shrines.
More important, the world can not allow him to become the decider of everything middle east just because he's willing to kill civilians en masse. The Saudi's have a government, the rest of the arab countries have governments. These governments said the place would be built for coalition forces that came together to drive a Hitler like character out of Kuwait. They feared Saddam had the technology and will to use WMDs because he had used WMDs on both Iranians and his own people.
The middle eastern countries have legitimate governments. He is a terrorist. Governments should decide policy, not terrorists. How can you be more upset at your own government for being part of an international coalition that drove murderers and rapists out of Kuwait with tanks rather than petitions than you are at a terrorist organization that uses explosions rather than protests?
Had he scheduled a protest outside of the twin towers, the Saudi capital, or the air base in contention, I would be willing to listen, but I quit giving a rats ass about Osama's complaints the day he targeted his first civilian.

OBM has never been the leader of any nation such that he would be recognized as having any authority to speak, let alone act, let alone act violently on anyone's behalf
