    Under Operation Cyclone, the U.S. covertly funded, trained, and armed the mujahideen forces and worked with Bin Laden to fight the Soviets (Billard, 2010). So how did the United States and Osama Bin Laden turn from partners fighting the same enemy to enemies fighting each other? Well the revulsion between the U.S. and Osama Bin Laden can be explained by the grievances of Bin Laden which are the following; the U.S. alliance with the state of Israel which Bin Laden saw as a repressive occupation on Muslim land, the United States presence in Saudi Arabia, Bin Laden’s Islamic holy land, and the Iraq embargo that created a dire environment for the Shia’s that Bin Laden had compassion for (“Jihad Against Jews and Crusaders (Text of 1998 fatwa],” 1998).

Ziauddin shows his heroic quality by standing up for what he believes is right and showing no concern to what his higher authority and the outside world is pronouncing. The reader could infer this by his actions of voicing his opinion in public (page 144) to his decision to keep running his school (page 95) no matter what consequences he may face. As Ziauddin attempts to keep his family safe as well as do what’s best for his country, he makes decisions, rebels against the law, and most of all, fights for what is right.…
