The US did exactly what he wanted them to.

He wanted to radicalize Muslims worldwide against the West and drain American resources through prolonged wars.

It's also interesting how infrequently Americans know OBL's motivations for the 9/11 attacks. A big part of it was the American support of Israel, and OBL's belief that this would lead to further oppression of Muslim people in Palestine.

He did terrible things but was pretty accurate in his predictions.

OBL hated Palestine ?

"this" == "the American support of Israel"
