However, I think that IF we are hit one more time, all hll will come, and whoever hit us, will find that we are once again united* Most Americans will rally round the flag. But there's a sizable camp who will blame another attack not on OBL but on Bush. 'he made them mad, he didn't address their grievances, he kicked the hornets nest in Iraq, etc.' Most of Western Europe will follow this camp, I think. But, no, I don't think OBL understands or frankly cares enough about the mentality of the West to have designed this outcome. In 9/11, the medium was the message and OBL was content to be "the scourge of Allah". A more short-term political mentality was at work in the Madrid bombings.
