The Asia Times features an interesting column taking a geo-political look at Bin Laden's strategy, concluding that it is likely to backfire disastrously.

Whether or not he forges a Pan-Islamic movement united against the West, bin Laden is near to triggering the establishment of an alliance far more fearsome than any conceivable alignment of Muslim countries.
