"that the sole mission of the attacks (aside from repaying some wonderful US bomb raids in the 80s) was to destroy or at least cripple the 'capatalist' way of life which our society is based on." If only they were really that naive! Osama said in interviews prior to 9/11, he wanted to get the US to attack the Mid-east region. Why? To galvanize support against the US. What he was witnessing was too much in-fighting amongst the Fundamentalist Muslim countries. He wanted the people to give up their personal bickering and look at his perceived larger enemy: The US. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/binladen/ I am quite confident that there was never an intention of destroying the capitalist system with the direct attack. The intention is the bring the world closer to global Jihad. If Osama can polarize enough people into his black/white mentality, he may be able to launch a real war that could most definitely put an end to the reign of capitalism. There is no better way to polarize them, then to have US soldiers "stationed" in your country attacking your neighbors/friends in the next country over. "with war, there is no winner or loser...just casualties." True, unless you are the crazed lunatic ordering others to their death ala Shrub, OBL, et al.
