The "they hate us for our freedoms" line was rhetoric designed so people wouldn't challenge Bush's justification for war.
From Bin Laden's perspective 9/11 was about the US backing actors like Israel and the Saudi monarchy that had failed to serve the interests of Muslims...it was defensive not offensive.
Sorry but it didn't happen because we have gay rights and freedom fries.
