They've driven a wedge between Europe and the US, something the Soviets couldn't do.

They've caused the US to spend billions and billions on non-productive things like security.

They've caused the US to spend hundreds of billions on a war in Iraq, costing the US more in treasure, lives and respect than they could have dreamed. (Don't bother giving Bush's figures. They don't include a hell of a lot.)

The actions of the US has been a recruiting dream for terrorism - creating hate beyond belief and borders.

To say they've overplayed their hand really seems naive. OBL could not have imagined what return he got for his investment.
