> Iran was big and hostile, but relatively unimportant.

How unimportant was Bin Laden?

[adamtaylor_13]

I think culturally he was important to a lot of folks in the 40-60 year old range, but the cultural take of the younger (20-30 year old) demographic really feels like all of Iraq was a huge waste of lives, time, and money.

Was he important? Genuinely curious because all I know is cultural vibes.

Bin Laden was from Saudi Arabia.
