The American Conservative: "The War Bin Laden Wanted"

"How the U.S. played into the terrorist’s plan."

"The solution, further, was if possible to provoke the U.S. into actually attacking Muslim countries, using its awesome weapons against pitifully outmatched Muslim forces, destroying and humiliating them, killing and wounding civilians and destroying much property, occupying more Muslim land, and miring itself in an attempt to control what it had conquered and to impose its secular values and institutions on Arab and Muslim societies."

How you could think otherwise is beyond me. What it indicates is a desire to believe what one wants to believe instead of following the facts. That seems to be the result of believing one's own propaganda instead of thinking for oneself.

Or maybe you have another scenario as to how a person could be so badly misled.
