 You have your history a bit wrong.  WWII was always going to be won by the side with Russia on it.  What America did was prevent the rest of Europe from falling to Communism by building the atomic bomb. 

At the time Bin Laden was a mujahideen, and great ally of the US. Then the US invaded Kuwait.  Bin Laden believed that the Iraq-Kuwait situation should have been dealt with by Muslims, and that western forces had no business being in the gulf.  This is the event that caused Bin Laden to drop his ties with the US and become a terrorist.

errrr lol... yeah germany was losing to russia... cause they had the western front. Without US support, the UK would have dropped and germany could have reallocated resources to fight russia... moreover, without the US, Russia would have had to deal with Japan. And what are you talking about with the atomic bomb... that came after the end of the war in europe, it has nothing to do with anything....

 

OMG the US invaded Kuwait..... you mean Iraq I hope no? the US never invaded Kuwait... they liberated it from the invasion Sadam had just lead a few weeks before.... and that was with support of the saudis and all the others (muslim countries were favorable to the western forces liberating Kuwait, as getting Kuwait would have given too much weight to Iraq with the oil).

Not only that, but they secured the autonomy of the Kurdish (the kurds, who were being massacred by the regime) region of Iraq correct?

Furthermore didn't congress vote in the late 90's to make removing Saddam official US foreign policy?
