Anyway looking at the economy now, Bin Laden one.

Look at it like this Americans are so set on revenge and blame at any cost. Disrupt the financial system and then force a country to spend billions a month seeking revenage. Bin Laden wins hands down.
I would agree with you. At the time I thought it was a justifiable war that needed to be done. Now I'm wondering whether it would of been better to have sent Cruise missiles into the terrorist bases and tell them they can have more of that if they come out of their country again.

Maybe we could of won without invading Iraq, but Bush had his agenda and nothing could budge him.

The tin foil hat brigade are wrong. The last place Bush would of hit was The World Trade Center. Even he knew what it did.
