Reason, eh? Did anyone actually read what Bin Laden said, in his "why
we blew up the Trade Center and Pentagon" statements?
One of the greatest disservices GWB did to the US citizenry, was to
tell them what they wanted to hear, instead of what they needed to
hear - "we are under attack because they are jealous of our freedom".
The result; US citizens are at risk to account for policies they may
not even be aware of. Pretty much as Iraqi civillians were, when the
bombing started... I guess US citizens don't mind as much, given that
the risk they face is considerably lower.

Nope. It didn't work for Bin Laden's cause in the US when his minions
attacked the Trade Center and Pentagon, and it didn't work for the
US's cause when they bombed and occupied Iraq.
What's even more ironic, is the non-linkage between even the Iraqi
government and Bin Laden's attack.
If Bin Laden's beef is with the US military, acting as cat's paw for
big US business, then his attack may have been more on-target than
Bush's invasion and occupation of Iraq.
If all that was required was to kill "all Americans", those four
planes could have flown into any highly-populated areas in the city,
and the same attack could have been mounted simultaneously in a number
of US cities. No need to fly off to the Pentagon, or... hey, does
anyone know what the destination of the 4th plane was supposed to be?
