Osama bin Laden, who had grown up among Arab rich kids, identified Bush as the kind of clownish spoiled wimp who strutted, sputtered, bluffed, bumbled, and backed down. So the terrorist sheik licked his chops when we elected Bush, seeing it as a window of opportunity to pull off an insulting show of force that would elevate his group to the status of Archangels of Allah. The WTC was a trophy and a recruiting poster, nothing more.
But Osama also knew that Bush was too stupid to see 9/11 as a message only (as was our own raid on Tokyo a few months after Pear Harbor), just a publicity stunt, and that Bush would ignore the main focus of jihadist war plans, one part of which was to get rid of Saddam Hussein and his secular aggression. So Bush was ignorant enough to do what Osama wanted to do himself.
The Taliban, the Iraqis, the Iranians, the Venezuelans, and the North Koreans have all been emboldened to laugh at us for standing behind this stupid little boy and his Peter Pan crew.
