As Domst said, almost all Americans are immigrants, the only difference being the amount of generations since.

Back in the 80s bin Laden was supposed to be one of the good guys helping us to fight the Soviets.
This is where I'm confused though. How are the Americans (and their allies) "the good guys" here? They trained and armed desperate people to do their dirty work, then they get angry when it comes around and bites them in the ass. Then Vietnam, another lovely example of Americans being nice. Again I fail to see how "good guys" and Americans are compatible phrases.

Bin Laden is not evil... he's a terrible person with serious anger-management issues who's using his expert CIA training to get back at the people he hates most.
This is the problem with many americans. They don't understand that they're not "the good guys", and that their enemies aren't evil. If they did, they'd know how to stop terrorism.

I'll give you a hint... it's not war.
