Bin Laden's letter says that the 9/11 attacks were fueled by our presence in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, where our presence is consentual. Because of that, a lot of people claim that if we get out of the Middle East, we won't have a terrorism problem. Ron Paul did a lot to influence that public opinion. Also, the stuff about "sovereign nation" and "freedom fighters" and so forth would also apply to Afghanistan.
