Everything is context to you if it diverts attention from your hero. But I am surprised you did not put it into the context of Bush (sr) seeing that he had US forces in S.A. after Desert Storm (key motivator of Bin Laden). Or maybe the fault of the British, due to Egypt and Muslin Brotherhood. Or Nazis and East Africa. Or Russia and the Caucuses. Or China and the Ugyhurs.
