And how much political fear does he achieve by attacking a smaller nation?
He's wants a war, a Jihad, because he's deluded himself into believing that Allah will step in and destroy his enemies.
He's pricked at us... and pushed us.... and we haven't responded in a manner that he felt would compell us to attack Arab nations in the Mid-East.
But now he and his minions have landed a solid "wake up" shot to our jaw and we know he's really a serious threat to everyone.
But Bin Laden, mistakenly under the belief that the rest of the world would not rally to support the US, is going to find NATO, and not just the US, puking down his throat.
Indeed, he may find that this has been the greatest mistake that his people could make.. They hoped to just provoke the US into doing something stupid that would make its allies nervous...
But we're creating a coalition, including nations in the Mid-East who rely upon our support, and we're coming after him, and those who use the same methods to carry out their attacks.
