It was crazy to live through this and be completely alone with the thought that maybe the plausible motivation was the actual motivation.

If you as much as hinted towards US/Western foreign policy being a factor in why the ”terrorists hate us” at the time, you might as have worn a shirt with ”I ❤️ OSAMA” on it.

I would have been tempted to do that as a rebel kid if I saw that shirt lol, around that time for halloween I went as a guerilla soldier with an AK airsoft gun, not explicitly anti-American but I knew what side I was on ahah.
