From: Mr. bin Laden
To: The USA
Subject: Your Security

You, the American people, I talk to you today about the best way to avoid 
another 
catastrophe and about war, its reasons and its consequences.
And in that regard, I say to you that security is an important pillar of human 
life, and 
that free people do not compromise their security.

Contrary to what [President George W.] Bush says and claims -- that we hate 
freedom --let 
him tell us then, "Why did we not attack Sweden?" It is known that those who 
hate freedom 
don't have souls with integrity, like the souls of those 19. May the mercy of 
God be upon 
them.

We fought with you because we are free, and we don't put up with 
transgressions. We want to 
reclaim our nation. As you spoil our security, we will do so to you.

I wonder about you. Although we are ushering the fourth year after 9/11, Bush 
is still 
exercising confusion and misleading you and not telling you the true reason. 
Therefore, the 
motivations are still there for what happened to be repeated.

And I will talk to you about the reason for those events, and I will be honest 
with you 
about the moments the decision was made so that you can ponder. And I tell you, 
God only 
knows, that we never had the intentions to destroy the towers.

But after the injustice was so much and we saw transgressions and the coalition 
between 
Americans and the Israelis against our people in Palestine and Lebanon, it 
occurred to my 
mind that we deal with the towers. And these special events that directly and 
personally 
affected me go back to 1982 and what happened when America gave permission for 
Israel to 
invade Lebanon. And assistance was given by the American sixth fleet.

During those crucial moments, my mind was thinking about many things that are 
hard to 
describe. But they produced a feeling to refuse and reject injustice, and I had 
determination to punish the transgressors.

And as I was looking at those towers that were destroyed in Lebanon, it 
occurred to me that 
we have to punish the transgressor with the same -- and that we had to destroy 
the towers in 
America so that they taste what we tasted, and they stop killing our women and 
children.

We found no difficulties in dealing with the Bush administration, because of 
the 
similarities of that administration and the regimes in our countries, half of 
which are run 
by the military and half of which are run by monarchs. And our experience is 
vast with them.

And those two kinds are full of arrogance and taking money illegally.

The resemblance started when [former President George H.W.] Bush, the father, 
visited the 
area, when some of our own were impressed by America and were hoping that the 
visits would 
affect and influence our countries.

Then, what happened was that he was impressed by the monarchies and the 
military regimes, 
and he was jealous of them staying in power for tens of years, embezzling the 
public money 
without any accountability. And he moved the tyranny and suppression of freedom 
to his own 
country, and they called it the Patriot Act, under the disguise of fighting 
terrorism. And 
Bush, the father, found it good to install his children as governors and 
leaders.

We agreed with the leader of the group, Mohammed Atta, to perform all attacks 
within 20 
minutes before [President George W.] Bush and his administration were aware of 
what was 
going on. And we never knew that the commander-in-chief of the American armed 
forces would 
leave 50,000 of his people in the two towers to face those events by themselves 
when they 
were in the most urgent need of their leader.

He was more interested in listening to the child's story about the goat rather 
than worry 
about what was happening to the towers. So, we had three times the time 
necessary to 
accomplish the events.

Your security is not in the hands of [Democratic presidential nominee John] 
Kerry or Bush or 
al Qaeda. Your security is in your own hands. Any nation that does not attack 
us will not be 
attacked.
