Osama bin Laden

When we were supposed to read the articles in class, i had the article about an interview with Osama bin Laden.  it was really weird reading it because it was fromt he 1990's.  He had so much against he united states and even mentioned how the innocent people were considered enemies.  I feel like we should have been more prepared for a terrorist attack based on reading this article alone.  I don't know how we didnt see a terrorist attack coming after reading this.  The man's words were almost scary reading especially since i know what happened in 2001.  He had so much agression towards the united states and it was mainly because of religion.  He believed that people under a government that he didn't like were enemies to him.  even if they werent president or a person in high power of this government.  in other words, im an enemy to bin laden simply because i live under american government even though i have no influence on it.
