Exactly. The only thing Bin Laden could be guilty of is 911, but most everyone knows it was an inside job.

So everything America touches must be deemed as crusade against helpless people huh? When American soldiers were deployed to Somalia in 1993 as part of multinational peace keeping force it was the helpless Somalis that it was trying to defend from thugs, but why should that matter since it seems any group who opposes the Al-Shabab you sympathize with is evil.
Al-Shabab deliver night letters to businessmen and others they wish to intimidate, yet it is the Americans that you deem evil.
Two Somali-born Britons who had returned to build a school in the town of Baladwayne were shot dead by rebels with links to Al-Shabab, yet it is the Ethiopians you seem to blame for all sorts of inhumane atrocities against helpless Muslims.
For one thing, it behooves me why any Somali whose country and the lives of his countrymen are in pieces would so blindly be supportive of such group, a group known to spread fear through Mogadishu, a city of up to 3 million people that has been convulsed by fighting for 17 years.
Even MAD MAC, an insider of the US intervention of Somalia, said America (or whites in general) doesn't care about Muslims or black Christians. He said, if America is involved in Africa, it's for politics, profits or both. With regard to the two Somali-born Britons, it hasn't been proven Al-Shabaab was behind their killing. Besides, their killing isn't as important, as the death/killing of hundreds thousands of Somali Muslims is more important. We Somali Muslims (of course conservative Muslims) place our first concern and give utmost priority to our fellow Muslim brothers and sisters, not two Somali-born Christian Britons.
