Actually it had more to do with the fact that american troops remained in saudi arabia after the first gulf war than who is or was in power. Osama himself said that was the reason, and other studies have suggested this is true.
Listen to the audio clip at this
link ... it is an interview with a guy who did a study on suicide attacks over the last 20 years and found that 95% of all attacks were an attempt to remove an occupying military power from a region.
Just to derail this thread even more, he concludes that occupying Afghanistan, and especially Iraq, were the single worst things that could have been done to stop suicide terrorism.
