    Osama Bin Laden: Ten Years Later
  

*by N***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2011*

Ten years ago this weekend, the 9/11 attacks took place. The effects of that day's events are still as pertinent today as they were a decade ago because of the two major wars that have been ignited as a response, and also because of the loss of civil liberties due to increased security. One aspect that makes this anniversary different from the rest is this one is the first without Osama bin Laden still alive.It is worth going back now to look at the man who financed and inspired the attacks. Osama bin Laden may be dead but the objectives he strove to achieve have in a large part become a reality. His initial motives for declaring Jihad (holy war) against the United States in 1995 have actually been met. Michael Scheuer, chief of the CIA's bin Laden unit from 1996 to 1999, provides something revealing in his recent book Osama bin Laden. It was sixteen years ago on August 23, 1995, when Osama bin Laden declared Jihad on the United States. In his declaration and subsequent statements he laid out plainly what he wanted to achieve. In his book Scheuer cites bin Laden's three primary goals:(1) Helping to bleed America into bankruptcy.(2) Spreading out U.S. military and intelligence forces to the point where they have little reserves or flexibility.(3) Stripping away American allies and creating as much political divisiveness as possible in the United States.(pg. viii)In each case, bin Laden ultimately achieved his objectives. America has been bled into bankruptcy by two no-end wars, living beyond our means, barrowing, and inflation. Our military has been stretched dangerously thin as a result our intention to police the world. Our allies have indeed been stripped away as we have made enemies abroad because of our arrogant foreign policy. Lastly we are no doubt living in a time of great political divisiveness with more and more Americans becoming disillusioned with our foreign and domestic policies.If we look at bin Laden as a man with three particular objectives in mind, we will see that in a large part as a result of our response to 9/11 we have created a situation for ourselves that puts us right where he wanted us. Bin Laden was astute enough to realize we could weaken our own influence in the world over time better than he could with his single act of terrorism.In conclusion, the ramifications of 9/11 a decade later affect our nation as it tries to finance the wars and to cope with the loss of civil liberties due to homeland security. Bin Laden probably looked upon this fact with some since of satisfaction. America's lost her much of her influence in the world, which is what he wanted.

    Helpful perspective
  

*by H***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2011*

Bin Laden is an enigmatic personality who has been described in the Western media as a Satanic Terrorist Leader who has a fanatical and warped sense of Islam that has brought undeseved  harm to the West and our alies.While this is one aspect of who he is, the Book by Scheur gives an indepth understanding of his background, the  development of his ideas, formation of Al Queda and importantly: what is his goal and why does he believe what he does and how does he plan to accomplish it.This book is particularly enlightening and creates a broader perspective regarding the dynamics and the turmoil in the Middle East (Especially the current revolations in Egypt, Libya,Algeria, etc).  While I don't give any credit to Bin Laden for any positive attributes, one can see where his plans and execution give the name "Mastermind" real meaning, albeit, a very evil one.For a student of today's dynamics in the Middle East and what the future may hold, this is a book that is worth reading.

*by H***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2016*

A well organized display of a man capable of horrors and beyond...but also the writer dos not shy away from the horrors delivered from the west. The only less than great aspect of the book is the effort made in the beginning to argue against other literature about the man. Even so there were to me a great many eye openers. For example the shear hatred sunni or at least the wahabis have against the shia..I highly recommend this mostly because of its informative nature.
