Osama bin Laden can't be a stupid man. Therefore he must realize that the train of events that his infamous attacks of 9/11/2001 set in motion are taking the world down the exactly opposite course than the one he intended. What sweet irony!
Imagine this... Sometime in the past few months, perhaps shortly after the Iraqi elections. Osama is crouched in some rude hut in the wilds of Afghanistan, or perhaps northeastern Iran. Up until this moment, he's been thinking that despite a few tactical reverses, his war on America is enjoying some strategic success. Then there is "the moment" — one I'd give anything to personally witness — when it dawns on him that the world's reaction to the 9/11 attacks is going to defeat his movement.
Perhaps I exult prematurely. But I think not.
