Only for US interest
Before 1990s, Osama was an average student studying Civil Engineering in Saudi Arabia. It was a critical period when the cold war rivalry grew between the USA and USSR with Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The USA started to propagate global Islamic jihadism against socialist block-the common enemy of both. At that time, the innocent young Osama left the luxurious life and took part in Afghan war. Thus, Osama became a successful leader of about 20,000 Taliban warriors. He fought the battle with bravery and secured the US' interest.After the collapse of Soviet Union, to protect his own interest, accelerated by the US propaganda, Osama declared Jihad against his previous ally USA. Consequently, he has appeared as a threat to US national interest. Now it has been proved that the rise of Bin Laden as a global hero and the death of him as the world's most wanted terrorist were only for the preservation of US interest.
