bin Laden has been fairly clear on this point: he doesn't think the United States should be involved in the affairs of Muslim nations. He thinks its an outrage that US troops are stationed in the same country as Mecca. There are other offenses on his list, to be sure, but this is the big one. Sounds quite similar to this viewpoint: "In politics as in religion, my tenets are few and simple....meddling as little as possible in [other nations'] affairs where our own are not involved." — George Washington
