He also does not see that he is a modern day "crusader," with all the negative connotations of the label.

How so Russ? If we didn't support Saudi Arabia, how could he still have beef with the US. His earlier actions (unless I'm wrong) never indicated that he had issues withthe US. Heck he actually helped us out by draining the Soviets in Afghanistan.
What behvaviors of Muslims is Bin Laden overlooking?
