It takes two to make a war. Bush did the ridiculously stupid thing of turning a criminal act into a religious war thereby inflaming it. Bush did it on purpose as it serves his financial interests well. It is, however, a truly stupid and evil thing.

Bush has promoted OBL's causes:

- get the US military out of Saudi Arabia
- attack a Muslim country and occupy it while pounding it into submission on the nightly news
- destabilize the ME and possibly the Saudi 'royal family'
- topple a secular dictator and do so obviously for oil
- turn OBL into the most important martyr in the world even before he's dead
- fail to find or kill OBL and, indeed, claim that he doesn't even think about OBL much
- promote the idea that 20 men with $500,000 can push around the world's greatest superpower thereby giving bad ideas to future criminals

I don't see any original ideas in your posts. You're very extreme but no original.
