    Not only was he right, but Bin Laden won, even if it killed him. The attack on 9/11 pulled out all the stops on ignorance, xenophobia, evangelicals in politics, the surveillance State, right-wing nationalism, and so much more. We wasted trillions of dollars on wars.

    The attack was a slow burn that took 20 years to collapse an “empire.”

      Yeah, if the objective was to bait the USA into wars that would consume it then he definitely won.
