LH the fact that we exist could also be a reason we are in Saudi Arabia. The truth is that the Saudis invited us there to help protect them from Saddam.
Bin Laden had offered to use his "expertise" to set up a defense force but the Saudi Govt. turned him down and requested US help instead. This rebuff put him down on us AND the Saudi Govt. You may say that this was because of our dominant military/political/economic system but It's probably because we have a better army than anything bin Laden could have cobbled together. Remember, Saddam had the sixth largest army in the world at that time.
We didn't just go barging in; they invited us and after it was over they asked us to stay. They are terrified of Saddam and rightly so. The Saudi defense force is mostly a bunch of playboy princes playing jet jockey. Bin Laden does not like the fact that we are there on a number of levels which I have enumerated. His other reason for hating us is because of our support for Israel. I suppose that this too, can be ascribed to our powerful position in the world.
But then, how do you explain the other countries who offer Israel their support?
