No-ones trying to justify it. But an understanding of the situation is
pretty vital wouldn't you say?
The IRA, and many other terrorist groups, conduct terrorist actions against
the British people.
Is that because they are uncivilised? If so, are the Americans who have
offered them financial support
in their on-going action against Britain uncivilised too?
I think it's an important thing to know that bin Laden (and the Taliban) are
where they are to a large degree
because of US foreign policy.

than
anything related to the Middle East"
What about the Iraqi Kurds. Both our governments had a aprt to play in that.

I don't understand why it is an issue that we once supported Bin Laden?
Yes, maybe it was stupid to do it, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't go
after him now.
If my neighbor asks me to borrow sugar and I loan it to him and then the
next day he breaks into my house and steals all of my sugar, am I just
supposed to sit back and do nothing?
Frankly, the U.S. has done things more shameful in it's foreign affairs than
anything related to the Middle East. Take for example, Nixon and Kissinger's
horrendous and inhumane and immoral action in Chili. So how come Chileans
do not conduct terrorist actions against the U.S.? It would have anything
to do with the fact that they are civilized?
There is no justification for this unprovoked attack on the U.S. and I can't
believe people try to justify it.

I think the point he is trying to make is that the US must first try and
understand why it happened. If America does not want to face the fact that
Bin Laden was trained, equipped and supported by them then America is
unlikely to solve this issue in the long term.
Although in the short-term I'm sure America will bomb the hell out of one
of the people that it trained.
