On September 20, 2001, just days after the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York City, the attack on the Pentagon in Washington D.C., and the loss of a hijacked jetliner over Pennsylvania - attacks squarely blamed on "Al Qaeda," US President George Bush would declare:
"Americans are asking "Why do they hate us?''
They hate what they see right here in this chamber: a democratically elected government. Their leaders are self-appointed. They hate our freedoms: our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other.
They want to overthrow existing governments in many Muslim countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. They want to drive Israel out of the Middle East. They want to drive Christians and Jews out of vast regions of Asia and Africa.
These terrorists kill not merely to end lives, but to disrupt and end a way of life. With every atrocity, they hope that America grows fearful, retreating from the world and forsaking our friends. They stand against us because we stand in their way.
We're not deceived by their pretenses to piety.
We have seen their kind before. They're the heirs of all the murderous ideologies of the 20th century. By sacrificing human life to serve their radical visions, by abandoning every value except the will to power, they follow in the path of fascism, Nazism and totalitarianism. And they will follow that path all the way to where it ends in history's unmarked grave of discarded lies.
Americans are asking, "How will we fight and win this war?''"
It
turns out America would fight the war by invading Afghanistan and
waging a ten year war against the Taliban who had nothing to do with the
9/11 terrorist attacks. Then similarly invade and occupy Iraq, opening
the door to foreign "Al Qaeda" fighters to pour in and help wage a
bloody civil war that effectively ended all meaningful resistance to US
occupiers. And finally, overtly arm, train, fund, and even provide air
support and political recognition for Al Qaeda affiliates, first in Libya, and now in Syria.
With Al Qaeda's recent call for support of "pro-democracy" "freedom fighters" in Syria,
people are literally asking, "how can they hate us for our freedom and
our democratically elected governments, but then support and even die
for those allegedly fighting for these very ideals?" Clearly we've been
lied to about something.
