BTW, the quote I highlighted:

On Wednesday, Egyptian TV showed footage of men clamoring to get inside the lawyers' union offices, where they could sign up for jihad. But on Thursday, the office was empty and the man in charge of distributing applications said no volunteers had come since Wednesday afternoon, when televisions aired live footage of Saddam's statue being toppled in Baghdad.

is the proof of the fallacy of the argument that the US invasion of Iraq will create million Bin Ladens which liberals / antiwar crowd put forth. The arguments is against human nature which can be summarized by:

"victory finds a hundred fathers but defeat is an orphan"

Bin Laden's initial victory vs. the US created millions of Bin Ladens, and if left unchallenged, they would have acted, killing millions. His first defeat in Afghanistan, second defeat in Iraq (which he claimed to be his battle) is sending the little aspiring suicide murderers home to their towns and villages, with tail between their legs.

Eventual capture / killing / proof of death of Saddam and Bin Laden will only intensify this.
