No, but I’d say it’s an excellent counter argument for the idea that Osama bin Laden created these problems in the early 2000s. As I said, I think a good bit of our education woes stem more from Reagan GOP budget cuts and Union busting than anything that OBL could ever dream of doing. And thus saying he got what he wanted is a bit much. If anything, OBL was a gift to neocons, AIPAC and Israel — those groups made out like bandits using the Spector of 9/11 to invade two countries and secure more weapons for Israel.
