Um. In my opinion, it's not a wise idea to draw a parallel between the US's New War (an expression which I don't really like...) and the introduction of the Euro. Personally, I can't see the new "european" currency as a threat to the US (even though they say that in two years, I'm gonna be paying with it, too), because clever businessmen there can benefit from it, too.
It may signal, however, that not everything (even in the western) world is about the US.
As for bin Laden... He has already earned a place in history for himself, he can be quite "happy" with that if he wants to. I agree though that the attacks weren't aimed to have physical effects, rather economical and maybe psychological.
Remember? If that tape is authentic, then Osama himself didn't dream that both towers would be totally destroyed. If he'll be found, then maybe we could ask him questions, instead of executing him on the spot. (Which'd be a rather barbarical action IMHO.)
