The irony of the bin Laden attack is that it was in response to US military occupation of Saudi Arabia, via a dozen-odd installations ringing the Saudi Peninsula.
But UK/US military occupation of The Kingdom (combined with the Petrodollar, which grants the Monarchy an unlimited line of international credit) is what effectively makes Saudi Arabia a military and economic power in the region. The western occupation of Saudi Arabia is the gun to the head of every other country in the region. Without that, they’d be no better off than Egypt or Turkiye.
Bin Laden and his allies were certainly fanatical. But they were reactionary in defiance of the Protestant dominance of the Muslim World. It’s hard for us to forget 9/11. It’s far easier for us to forget the prior 60 years of UK/US/Israeli backed violent oppression, invasion, and assassination of every Unaligned Muslim Leader stretching from Algeria to Thailand.
They sent 19 religious fanatics to learn to fly jumbo jets into the wtc
Never forget ? Whatever I guess
