Osama Bin Laden's role in the current economic crisis

Why hasn't the MSM or alternate media mentioned one of the obvious proximal causes of the current economic crisis - Osama Bin Laden? Bin Laden must be considered an evil genius who has clearly learned the most significant historical lesson of the last 40 years. Through the use of only 20 conspirators he was able to attack the US financial system and show the world the weakness of the US military and intelligence establishments. His attack was timed to coincide with a new and militaristic administration and a minor economic downturn, the dot com bubble collapse, creating undue economic fear and excessive counter responses by the American government. The American response to 9/11/01 was to launch two wars, with Iraq ultimately costing in excess of $2 trillion USD, which along with the immediate and dramatic lowering of the Fed prime rate by Alan Greenspan at the request of the Bush administration, accelerated the insolvency of the USA. This toxic combination of policy reactions to 9/11 ultimately lead to the state we're in today - by justifying the Bush administration's obvious desire to invade Iraq and enabling a massive increase in debt to "bolster the American economy," all without an increase in taxation. Not to mention the malignant effects of the Patriot act and other legal abuses on the American culture of privacy and liberty. It seems clear that OBL hoped for the guns and butter programs of the 60's to be revisited following his attack on 9/11 with the intention of causing similar disastrous effects on the American economy. We know that Bin Laden was a student of the Vietnam war's impact on the American economy (gold default, oil shocks) and psyche, and he obviously was a key architect of the destructive effect of the Afghan war on the Soviet economy in the 1980's. In hindsight it is amazing that the current administration fell for the trap so readily, I suspect this shows they were only interested in what 9/11 could do for their agenda than actually take the fight to the enemy. In this light our current economic troubles may be better compared to the collapse of the Soviet Union, the American troubles of the 1970's, or the post-war collapse of the British empire rather than the Great Depression. Most amazingly of all, OBL is still out there - watching the continuing effects of his successful terrorist plot seven years ago.
