He may have eluded justice and the long reach of the world's most powerful military force his followers may (and probably will) strike again at some point in the future, near or distant but history's verdict on Osama bin Laden has been in for some time, now: Al-Qaeda failed.
The 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington like those that preceded it in East Africa in 1998 and those that followed in London, Madrid, Bali and other places were tactical successes, in that they managed to kill hundreds of innocents, grab the world's headlines and briefly dominate the nightmares of Western policy makers. But the strategy of which those attacks formed part has proven to be fundamentally flawed. Terrorism departs from the rules of war by deliberately targeting the innocent, but it shares the basic motive force of conventional warfare "the pursuit of politics by other means, " as Clausewitz wrote.

[테러는 의도적으로 無故(무고)한 사람들을 표적으로 삼음으로써 전쟁규칙에서 일탈하고 있지만 그것은 재래식 전쟁의 기본적인 動力(동력)을 공유하고 있다. 그것은 Clausewitz가 썼던 것처럼 “다른 수단에 의한 정치의 추구”이다.

The purpose of the 9/11 attacks was not simply to kill Americans they formed part of Bin Laden's strategy to launch a global Islamist revolution aimed at ending U.S. influence in Muslim countries, overthrowing regimes there allied with Washington, and putting al-Qaeda at the head of a global Islamist insurgency whose objective was to restore the rule of the Islamic Caliphate that had once ruled territory stretching from Moorish Spain through much of Asia.
Today, of course, al-Qaeda is believed to comprise a couple of hundred desperate men, their core leaders hiding out in Pakistan's tribal wilds and under constant threat of attack by ever-present U.S. drone aircraft, their place in Western nightmares and security assessments long-since eclipsed by such longtime rivals as Iran, Hizballah, Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. This year's official threat assessment by the U.S. Directorate of National Intelligence cited the primary security challenge facing the U.S. as the global economic downturn. The report cited "notable progress in Muslim public opinion turning against terrorist groups like al-Qaeda", and said no country was at risk of falling to Qaeda-inspired extremists. It argued that sustained pressure against the movement's surviving core in the Pakistani tribal wilds was degrading its organizational cohesion and diminishing the threat it poses.
