But our support for the Saudi Royals, to help smooth our receipt of their oil, was the primary reason Bin Laudin attacked us. And our support for the corrupt leaders of oil nations in the Middle East, and our drive to keep imported oil cheap, is why we had two oil wars under Bush 1 and Bush 2. And those wars are the primary reason the Jihadists continue to have widespread support.
