9/11. Success story of the century ?

could 9/11 be the Arabs greatest victory ?

Ok I know it sounds really stupid as a headline, but it’s a real question.
Many commentators have said that the 9/11 attacks by Bin Ladin were
the biggest mistake of his life, as he lost his safe haven in Afghanistan,
and now the US are actively seeking him to kill him.

His group, Al Qaeda, have been targeted throughout the world
and find it extremely hard to operate now.

But when you strip away the ‘back-slapping’ attitude of the US
media, ask yourself one key question. Why did 9/11 happen ?

Bin Ladin and his supporters always maintained that they wanted the US military presence in Saudi Arabia to end. They wanted Saudi Arabia to be governed by a democracy, and not one man, as it is at present. This was very clear in the fatwas he released ( link )

Well, by clearing up Iraq, the US are now actually moving out of Saudi Arabia, to set up camp in Iraq and other less hostile Arab states. ( Link )

Isn’t this what Bin Ladin wanted all along ? That the military bases in Saudi Arabia be emptied and the US presence in the country be diminished ?( link )

Believe it or not, it seems he is getting his way. Today the US moved the most troops out of Saudi than ever before, and many more than were ever expected. ( link )
Its hard to believe the criminal act of terror that has now been the justification for more killings than 100 9/11’s put together, could possibly have been the final blow, that led to ‘success’ for Bin Ladin.

I mourn the deaths of both 9/11 and the wars after it. I also will never accept that an act of terror should ever be supported. But today as I watch the Us troops leaving I think to myself, if anyone should be patting themselves on the back for a successful job, dare I say it, its Bin Ladin.
