His goal was to make all nations Islamic and he has failed miserably in that.

That wasn't his goal in fighting America. He wanted to bleed America of treasure, so that it wouldn't be able to sustain itself and eventually crumble. While he may not have achieved that goal, he certainly inflicted damage.
 
9/11 served to catapult Bin Laden's brand of terrorism, Al Qaeda, and Jihad onto the global stage. It was certainly an issue before, but now it's THE issue in global politics. In terms of getting his issues into the public eye, Bin Laden certainly achieved a victory.
 
Have no clue if it was his plan, but we reacted in about the worst possible way. It killed, maimed, orphaned, displaced hundreds of thousands of people, cost trillions, created more enemies. I think it is wise to leave justice to God and never seek revenge.
