Apparently bin Laden made a videotape prior to the launch of the attack against Afghanistan. In it he says
And to America, I say to it and to its people this: I swear by God the Great, America will never dream nor those who live in America will never taste security and safety unless we feel security and safety in our land and in Palestine.
He mentions Israel twice more in the speech. You can read the complete text yourself. It seems America's support of Israel plays a larger part in this than I thought. I'm not sure exactly what he means by "our land" but I don't think Afghanistan is going to have any peace or security while bin Laden is there. It would also seem that being a haven for terrorists is a strange way to bring peace to an area. But then I can't understand anyone that would kill 6,000 innocent people.
