Once in an interview with reporters, bin Laden said bluntly: "Americans are the real terrorists, and the most effective means to combat the United States is terrorism." From this sentence, it can be seen that bin Laden and the United States are real enemies of life and death, and there is no possibility of reconciliation at all.
In order to fight the United States, bin Laden has planned a number of terrorist acts against the United States, the most famous of which is 9/11. In order to eliminate bin Laden, the U.S. government also invested a lot of money and manpower, and finally killed bin Laden in a house.
Bin Laden's wife, recalling the night her husband was killed, vividly remembers her husband gasping for breath and saying to himself, "The Americans are finally here." What happened the night bin Laden was killed, and did he have a fear of death in his heart when he said this to his wife? We need to start with bin Laden's rebellion against the United States.
Bin Laden was born in 1955 to a wealthy family in Saudi Arabia, the son of a wealthy local businessman.
After his father's death, bin Laden received a $350 million inheritance on which bin Laden started one company after another and ventured into all walks of life, which brought os-bin Laden a lifetime of wealth that would not be used up, and this wealth was also the financial guarantee for bin Laden's terrorist actions in the future.
As his wealth grew, bin Laden inevitably had to deal with Western countries. However, as exchanges with Western countries deepened, bin Laden slowly realized a problem: the Arab countries were either pawns of the us-Soviet cold war hegemony, or they could only be obediently suppressed by the United States.
Bin Laden was neither willing to allow his country to become a pawn in the U.S.-Soviet struggle for hegemony, nor to be suppressed by the United States. So what to do? This can only choose to resist. In the beginning, both the United States and the Soviet Union were the targets of bin Laden's rebellion, but with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States became bin Laden's only target
With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Arab states seemed to have only one option they did not want to choose — obediently suppressed by the United States. At that time, bin Laden was a bloody young man who naturally did not want his country to be suppressed by the United States. It was precisely because of this bloodiness that the germ of rebellion against the United States was planted in his heart.
At this time, the idea of resistance has begun to take shape in Bin Laden, and if bin Laden wants to become a world-famous terrorist in the future, another fire needs to be added, and this fire is the Gulf War.
Gulf War
In 1990, a major event occurred in the Arab region — Iraq's strong invasion of Kuwait and its occupation. Because of its border with Kuwait, the Saudi royal family feared that Iraq would take this opportunity to invade its territory forcefully, so it took the initiative to invite U.S. troops to stay in Saudi Arabia.
The Decision of the Saudi Royal Family undoubtedly angered bin Laden, who approached the Saudi Defense Minister in a furious manner, opened the map and suggested to the Minister of Defense: "We can resist the invasion of Iraq on our own, so why invite the Americans"?
The defense minister asked rhetorically: "Then how are you going to deal with Iraq's aircraft artillery and biological weapons?"?
Bin Laden replied, "We can rely on faith to defeat them."
The Defense Minister looked at bin Laden stunned, pointed to the door and said, "You can get out of here."
Seeing the Secretary of Defense driving him away, bin Laden couldn't help it and went straight to the door. At this moment, bin Laden is full of all kinds of unwillingness for the cowardice of the Saudi royal family and the hegemony of the United States.
Later, for various reasons, the United States invaded Iraq forcefully on the grounds that it might harbor "weapons of mass destruction" and completely destroyed Iraq, and Iraq's troops could only leave Kuwait in a gray and slippery manner.
However, it is easy to ask God to send God, the US army has come to you Saudi Arabia, where is the reason to go? So the U.S. military directly established a permanent military station in Saudi Arabia.
Bin Laden could not bear this, angrily scolding the Saudi royal family for luring wolves into the house, especially by allowing U.S. troops to be stationed in The Islamic holy land of Mecca, which is undoubtedly contempt for Muslims. Bin Laden called on Muslims at home to act violently to drive U.S. troops out of Saudi Arabia.
Bin Laden didn't just talk about it, he actually put it into action. Bin Laden's al-Qaida group began to attack U.S. troops and Saudi government agencies in Saudi Arabia, causing great distress to both sides.
Due to pressure from the U.S. government, the Saudi royal family could not ignore it and began to strictly supervise bin Laden's activities, not allowing him to leave Saudi Arabia for a single step. But it was too late, and bin Laden's anger against the United States could not be extinguished.
In 1991, bin Laden used money to bribe a member of the royal family, tricked him into going to Pakistan to close his company, and repeatedly promised that he would return to Saudi Arabia. For the sake of money, the royal family member agreed to let it go.
But is there any reason for the bird out of the cage to go back? After escaping from Saudi Arabia, bin Laden informed his family to start moving outward, and then moved his family to Sudan, starting his own rebellion against the United States.
Since moving out of Saudi Arabia, bin Laden has begun to plan various terrorist attacks on Americans, which have brought great trouble to the overseas expansion of the United States, and the US government has been greatly annoyed by this.
Fearing that bin Laden would be implicated, the United States poured out its anger on its own head, and in 1994 the Saudi government announced that bin Laden had been expelled from his citizenship and frozen his assets in the bank. Bin Laden's siblings, in order to protect themselves, announced their dissociation from him.
Your own homeland drove itself away? This had little impact on bin Laden, who began to develop his own forces in Sudan in preparation for a revolt against the United States.
On June 26, 1995, something major happened in Africa — the President of Egypt was assassinated in a dangerous assassination campaign while attending a meeting in Palestine, but fortunately nothing happened.
After the incident, the United States, without any investigation, directly insisted that the incident was the work of bin Laden and put pressure on the Sudanese government on this matter.
The pressure of the United States is not something that the poor and backward country of Sudan can resist, and the Sudanese government cannot resist the pressure and can only announce the expulsion of bin Laden in May of the following year.
When bin Laden was deported, he must have been confused, so where should he go at this point? When he left Sudan, bin Laden took only his fourth son, Omar.
Omar was only fifteen years old, and he did not want to follow his father away from Sudan. But bin Laden said nothing at home, and Omar's mother could only say to her son, "Take care of your child, follow your father out of here." When the mother finished speaking, she watched her son and husband each carry an AK47 on their backs and leave the house.
Omar followed his father out the house, but he didn't know where his father was going to take him or how long he was going to leave this time.
The two departed from an airport in Sudan, passing over Bin Laden's home country, Saudi Arabia, and their only stop was for the plane to refuel at an Iranian airport. Finally, the plane arrived in the Jalalabad region of Afghanistan, where bin Laden's old friend was found. Here, old friends can provide shelter for bin Laden.
Omar not only did not understand his father's rebellion against the United States, but also vigorously opposed it. Because since bin Laden organized a "holy war" against the United States, the whole family has not lived a rich life, but has begun to suffer from various upheavals and displacements. For a fifteen-year-old, this is too cruel.
Later, without her father's consent, Omar directly chose to leave Afghanistan alone and live in her grandmother's house in Syria. After an application, Omar regained his Saudi citizenship, but his future was uncertain.
Why would he rather let his family suffer with him and os-bin Laden rebel against the United States? In the beginning, bin Laden rebelled against his homeland from American oppression, but the reasons have changed.
In an interview with reporters, bin Laden directly expressed his views on the United States: "Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States has become more and more arrogant in the world, seeing itself as the master of the world, and wanting to establish an order that is completely beneficial to them, and the US government defines opponents as terrorists."
Immediately afterward, bin Laden stated his reasons for his resistance to the United States: "The reason why I launched a "holy war" against the United States is because the United States government is an unjust, brutal and evil government, which violates the bottom line of mankind and commits crimes that no imperialism has ever done, which is why I want to rebel against the United States."
From bin Laden's remarks above, it seems that we can find that the later bin Laden rebelled against the United States, which in his mind was a "just war". The United States has done something wrong in this world, but is it inappropriate for bin Laden to resist with terror?
In essence, bin Laden's terrorism and American hegemonism are in opposition to each other. The reason why terrorism was born is actually the product of the long cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union, and both sides have to pay for it.
And the Soviet Union has already used its own collapse as compensation, how can the United States be responsible? The U.S. government can only repay this "debt" by eliminating os-women.
Although bin Laden's terrorist activities have caused some trouble to the United States, they have not attracted the attention of the United States, which at that time mainly focused on China and Russia.
911 incident
However, the occurrence of a major event that completely changed the goals of the United States and began to eliminate os-Din bin Laden at any cost was the world-famous "9/11 terrorist attacks".
On September 10, 2001, bin Laden terrorists assembled in the northeastern corner of the United States for final deliberations. The terrorists then flew to Boston from different locations in two separate routes, and they decided to hijack four planes and launch suicide attacks on their intended targets.
Why did bin Laden launch an attack on September 11? That's because the U.S. call number is exactly 911, and 911 is the representative of security in the American heart. Bin Laden chose to launch the attack on this day to tell the Americans: Yankees, let your safety go to hell.
In fact, in the very beginning, bin Laden chose to target the White House in the United States, but due to various accidents, the final attack site became the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York, USA.
As the plane hit its intended target, a terrorist attack that shocked the world took place. It is understood that this terrorist attack caused a total of 2977 civilian deaths in the United States, and directly caused economic losses of more than 200 billion US dollars. Immediately after the incident, the U.S. military was on high alert.
Bin Laden's drama has far surpassed all the horror blockbusters filmed in the United States so far, not only creating the highest "ratings" in the world, but also bringing a lingering psychological shadow to Americans, which still has an impact today.
Immediately after the 9/11 incident, the U.S. government regarded bin Laden as a target that it was eager to get rid of, and began to search the world for bin Laden's figure, hoping to kill him in order to calm the anger at home.
However, bin Laden is well aware of the U.S. government's approach and how the U.S. government will react after launching this terrorist attack, so it has long been prepared, so that it took the U.S. government a decade to finally find bin Laden's hiding place.
During this decade, bin Laden hid in the mountains and forests, perfectly escaping the detection of American satellites. Bin Laden lived in a reclusive way, minimizing the number of times he went out to avoid revealing his whereabouts.
What's more, in order to avoid being detected by the US government to detect electromagnetic signals and expose his whereabouts, bin Laden has not used any electronic products in this decade. Can you imagine? In a modern society, let you not use any electronic products for ten years.
If bin Laden was so careful, why did he end up being discovered by the U.S. government?
U.S. intelligence officers spotted an Arab on the streets of Afghanistan and thought the other side was very familiar. Intelligence agents immediately compared the Appearance of the Arab with the database, and it turned out that this person was actually bin Laden's confidant.
Not surprisingly, the Arab was arrested by the U.S. military. After being tortured, the Arab finally confided everything he knew. It turned out that the reason why he appeared in Afghanistan this time was to replenish supplies so that bin Laden could continue to hide in the deep mountains and old forests. From the mouth of this Arab, the U.S. government finally knew where bin Laden was hiding.
Now that you know where your enemy is hiding, you have to take action. On the afternoon of May 11, 2011, U.S. President Barack Obama dispatched a Navy SEALs to carry out the arrest of bin Laden.
The Navy SEALs entered Pakistan by helicopter from Afghanistan and pounced directly over bin Laden's mansion. The helicopter alarmed the mansion's guards, whose shouts woke up bin Laden, who was asleep. So how did bin Laden react at this point?
According to bin Laden's wife, Amal, who was present at the time, bin Laden woke up from his slumber and said to himself, gasping for breath: The Americans have finally arrived, and they have found me. Amal wanted to turn on the light, but bin Laden stopped her. With the faint moonlight, Amal could not see any trace of fear on her husband's face.
Soon several SEALs broke through the window, and bin Laden picked up his gun and fought with them, but unfortunately he was outnumbered, and bin Laden soon became a ghost under the gun, and a generation of "tyrants" died.
At 23:15 US time, US President Barack Obama excitedly announced in front of the TV: We have killed Bin Laden, which is the biggest contribution he has made in the field of national security since he took office.
With the death of bin Laden, there are people in the world who are happy and others who are worried. As a villain, bin Laden will surely go down in history, a "war" he single-handedly launched against the United States, which had a profound impact on the world.
Although bin Laden is dead, terrorism still exists in this world. As the world modernizes, all kinds of sharp contradictions will emerge one by one, terrorism is one of them, and how should human beings resolve these contradictions? None of this is known.
