The man they sent from the federal government to investigate the matter turned out to be a dud who was not even familiar with the regulations.
From your perspective, what do you think bin Laden was trying to accomplish on September 11? I think bin Laden was trying to provoke a clash of civilizations, and it turned out to be a huge dud. One thing that was really striking to me after September 11 was the demonstrations we saw in Karachi, which is a city of 15 million people. Tens of thousands of people were demonstrating in the street. You can have a million-man march at the drop of a hat. Or in Cairo or in Jakarta. We didn't see mass outpourings of support for bin Laden. I think he was trying to divide the world between the believers and the nonbelievers and trying to really provoke this clash. Well, it turns out that the people who are going after bin Laden, without exception, are Muslims. Whether it is Pakistani intelligence or the Afghans, the actual "infidel" presence in Afghanistan is miniscule. The people who are really doing the work are all Muslims.
