That doesn't mean a great power like us needs to go and beat up on him.

After 9/11/01 it does. OBL's followers were able to do a great deal of damage to the U.S. without using WMDs. OBL expressed his desire to harm the U.S. long before the actual event. SH has expressed a desire to do the same. I hope that the one lesson we have learned is to take these threats seriously.

It's kinda like the airport, if you joke about a gun or a bomb, you are going to spend some time talking to the authorities. If you are evasive, maybe you get a cavity search. If you resist that, you may get a few bumps and bruises.

Saddam resisted the cavity search, now he has a few bumps and bruises.
