Americans have lost their freedoms, and so much of what made America great. NATO is basically gone now. America can't catch up with it's competition in the east when it comes to tech and infrastructure. It'd be a miracle if the US avoids a proper civil war in the next few years. I don't know what else you can count as success short of that, an asteroid destroying the continent? The US isn't focused on invading the middle east, and it cost the US $20T in afghanistan and iraq. If a few wealthy americans got richer, bin laden wouldn't have minded. He wanted the influence of america to end. and he succeeded. America used it's influence in the 80's and 90's to interfere with islamic nations, and spread its culture. Now america is a pariah, even europeans consider america more hostile than russia right now. People either laugh at or pity america these days at what it's become. In the 90's people either hated america or loved it. That's all bin laden wanted. In his view, muslims were being oppressed by the west, and america was the west's leader. That has changed. and the catalyst to that change was his attack.
