Bin Laden needed our unwitting collaboration, and we have provided it -- more than $1 trillion spent on two wars, more than 5,000 of our troops killed, tens of thousands of Iraqis and Afghans dead. Ref. Source 7

I wonder at times whether this Ben Laden character is for real or is he just a character made by the media (of course with the blessings of the superpower) as a bogeyman. A fictional character. As far as I am concerned what are the solid evidence that the Middle Easterns are responsible for the 9/11 attacks. Sorry, but the US has sucha awesome military might; can thay detect the flight patterns of the planes involved. I am sorry but I hope the world does not judge by some whimsical evidence. Again; I am sorry but I just don't buy this Laden character exist. Wassalam.

My question is, who ensure us that the person who called is actually Bin Laden? It could have been anyone.
