Re: A third possibility is that the goals of bin Laden are so large that they transcend Israel and Jews & he wants to take dead at at the power centers of the West--ergo, he targets U.S. financial institutions, media, and top politicians.
Well, if Bin Laden is such an all-powerful arch-evil --even after Sept 11-- then, according to your logic, he just missed a masterstroke to fulfill his anti-Western Megascheme: he failed to snuff the Pope in Khazakstan... That would have been such a bombshell: Western finance (WTC), Western military (Pentagon), and Western faith (Pope). Kinda "game, set, and match"....
Anyway, I'm afraid Ariel Sharon and his toxic gang have pushed their luck a bit too far this time around... they've somehow sent death threats to eminent US people (Daschle). I think US political leaders will send the message back to them: no one is to mess with the US's national interest --not even the Israelis/Jews...
