what a naive story
Eight Years After 9/11: Why Osama bin Laden is a Failure
---
I think bin Laden succeeded beyond his wildest dreams! Besides murdering thousands of Americans, he put the country in such a state of terror that it disregarded its core values, ignored its Constitution and its people basic civil rights, started an incredibly unpopular war against a country that had nothing to do with the attack, which then became an extremely successful recruiting tool for al Qaida and managed to destroy our economy. And this is only what I'm thinking of off the top of my head, without going into the details of the last 8 years.
I'm no history major, but I can't think of any other single attack in the history of the world that decimated a country and its ideals to such an extent.
Bin Laden couldn't have succeeded more even if he was working directly with bush. Bush did everything - and more - that bin Laden could possibly have wished for in his absurd reactions to the attacks.
