Brilliant, but devious, plan of Osmama bin Laden.
A superpower is defined by its political, economic, and military strength.
White House-Center of political power(Flight 93's intended target)
WTC-Center of economic power
Pentagon-Center of military power.


In case you did not realize it, Osama made the statement to the world, mainly the Muslim world, that if Al Qaeda could strike the centers of the world's only superpower, it could strike anywhere.

9/11 might have been the most brilliant, but again devious and maniacal, plan ever in human history. Osama used our weaknesses as his strengths.
