We must never forget that bin Laden was trained and sponsored by the USA during the cold war. When the USSR conquered Afghanistan to fight the threat of the extremistic Muslims, the USA trained bin Ladens men and supported him with money to oppose the Russians. So the USA is now facing men which it trained and funded.
Maybe a lesson for the USA to learn from this is that it does NOT pay out to support extremistic and/or terroristic groups to oppose enemies (That happened not only in Afghanistan but in other countries too, eg Chile)
