He was a rich kid since the age of 10 when he got his first 80 million dollars. He was the money man. He did the photo ops.

The people who are focused only upon mass murder of the infidel did the real planning. They may have nuclear capabilities at this time and pose a real and present danger.
Bin Laden was about the financial destruction of America. His buddies are even crazier and may opt for nuclear options despite the futility and the diminished need for their cause among many Arab nations in revolution against dictator regiemes.

I hope sanity prevails.
