I explained the afghan Soviet war and what operation cyclone was. Sent my mom the famous warrior on the road for peace newspaper. She was in shock. I then explained how for radicals like Osama who I then reminded her was trained in planning attacks and organizing due to us taxpayers, stationing troops in Saudi Arabi was tanta mount to religious sacrilege turned Osama against the US. The rest was simply explaining how the US basically paid for 9/11 with it's own hands
