You said it yourself: A similar movement in other Muslim countries.

Bin Ladin received no money from the US, no support. Bin Ladin's reason for existence was to provide logistical support and financing AFTER the US cut ties with the Maktab al-Khidamat and Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.

So please, for the sake of all that's true, do some basic research before spouting propaganda. We made a lot of mistakes in Afghanistan. Creating Al Qaeda is not one of them.
