1) I'm sure Osama had no idea America would react the way we did. After all, all through the 1990's we did pretty much nothing about him, in spite of repeated attacks and repeated opportunities to nail him. He had no reason to believe we would actually do something this time.
2) I'm also sure that 9/11 was done for motives other than simply to attack America. If they truly wanted to do us in, they would simply pluck us off, one by one. After all, there are thousands of unsolved murders in this country. It's not like they would really have to worry about being caught. And if they did, they would simply be another martyr. Or there are other more effective and anonymous ways to do away with large numbers of us...many of which our wonderful Fourth Estate have detailed for those who didn't already know what our vulnerabilities are. No, I'm convinced that 9/11 was purposely very public and very spectacular in order to recruit new members.
