To the point of they may not have known the consequences, a simple question. I would suppose that the "pilots" of 9/11 had a pretty firm grip on the consequences. They knew they were going to die, as martyrs, and willingly jumped in. Do you suppose that the "troops" in Afghanistan planned on any less? They knew that that they would probably die, again as martyrs to their cause, and picked up rifles and went to war, if you can call it that. The problem is that he didn't plan on being captured, and Osama probably figured that if the infidels killed one of their own in the field, he could play that to show that Westerners really are dogs. Instead, he was captured, and now he's wishing he hadn't abandoned his wife, kids and job to go be a terrorist.
