Osama bin Laden is not after the death of all US citizens, but rather, he was after the destruction of the economic power of the United States.
He targeted the Twin Towers not for their height nor for the number of people inside the buildings, but rather, they were targeted for what they represent, the economic dominance of the United States of America.
If the USA will lose its economic dominance, its military power will not be enough to sustain its status as superpower nation, just as what happen to the USSR of the past. No economic superpower, no military superpower. This is what Al-Qaeda is aiming for, the total collapse of the economic power of the United States of America.
Whatever Osama bin Laden and its cohorts, the Al-Qaeda, have failed to accomplished that mission but now the Republican Congressmen and Senators with their Tea Party friends will bring to fulfillment this objectives of Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda.
Osama bin Laden and all dead Al-Qaeda militants are now laughing in their graves and rejoicing of the demise of the economic power of the United States of America!!!!
