His aims are clear--to expel the U.S. from the Islamic world and unite Muslims in one empire

sounds like he was born too late in history!

Well it proves he's a total power crazed nutcase. How people want to try and talk peace to guy like this makes you wonder what planet they're on. Unfortunatley he's got to many people conned into believeing his lies and these people are spreading like cancer into free societys around the world.
This probably shows the reason why the arab world leaders are hesistant to come out in fully against bin laden as their society is too riddled by his supporters and any such condemation would finally lead to there death.

Asked by CNN in 1997 whether their withdrawal would appease him, he said no. The holy war will not stop, he said, until the U.S. "desist[s] from aggressive intervention against Muslims in the whole world."

In other words if we fight back as they try to conquer the world...

He blames the U.S. for the killing of Bosnian Muslims by Christian Serbs because of a U.N. arms embargo against Bosnia until 1994.

Was it not the US that went in and bombed the hell out of the "Christian Serbs" to stop them from killing "Bosnian Muslims".

After the infidels have been expelled from the land of Islam, bin Laden, like other Islamic radicals, foresees the overthrow of current regimes across the Muslim world and the establishment of one united government strictly enforcing Shari'a, or Islamic law. This vision harks back to the age of the caliphs, the successors to Muhammad who ruled Islam's domain from the 7th century to the 13th. What might a caliphate look like today? In bin Laden's view, it would look something like the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, which he has praised as "among the keenest to fulfill [Allah's] laws." Bin Laden may imagine himself to be a potential new caliph. One of the titles he uses is "emir," which means ruler. However, he swears allegiance to (and thereby ranks himself below) the Taliban ruler, Mullah Mohammed Omar, so whatever political ambitions bin Laden may have are not yet on display.

Some bin Laden watchers speculate that he particularly has his eye on Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, as they possess, respectively, 25% of all proven oil reserves and the Islamic world's only known nuclear bomb. Bin Laden has referred to the Saudi oil fields as "a large economic power essential for the soon-to-be-established Islamic state." Asked by TIME in 1998 about reports that he was trying to acquire nuclear and chemical weapons, he replied, "If I seek to acquire these weapons, I am carrying out a duty. It would be a sin for Muslims not to try to possess the weapons that would prevent the infidels from inflicting harm on Muslims."

That last line is the scariest considering their total disregard for human life.

Another person had the similar ideas. However his was based around the master race rather than the master religon. Very strong statement I know but the goals are very similar, world domination and destroy anyone who disagrees or stands in the way.
