Brad,
You said:

my dad", and he seems willing to destroy the earth to pursue this idee
fixe."
How do you know?
"[Saddam Hussein] poses a much graver threat than anybody could
have possibly imagined. Other countries, of course, bear the
same risk. But there's no doubt his hatred is mainly directed
at us. There's no doubt he can't stand us. After all, this
is a guy that tried to kill my dad at one time."
(George W Bush, "Remarks by the President at John
Cornyn for Senate Reception", White House Press
Release, 26Sep02, 5:36PM CDT)
I have collected more similar quotes, although
showing different aspects of Bush's "personality".
Science generally extrapolates from the
established data points. But I agree with you:
We are desparately in need of a neurological
workup and psychological evaluation of this
person.
As one legislator said last week, however,
we know that he holds grudges and has a long memory
for people who have crossed him.
Bush has his special talents (see above).

For how long I wonder?
From what I've seen of the proposals in the media, they
are some combination of real-estate-business realism and
postmodernist meaningless fantasy.

However, to directly address your question, perhaps AlQaeda,
unlike GeorgeWBush is not stuck in its past. GeorgeWBush
can't get over the fact that "that man once tried to kill my dad",
and he seems willing to destroy the earth to pursue this
idee fixe.
Perhaps AlQaeda will soberly assess the new buildings, and
if they conclude that they are no longer the most
strategic targets (remember that "the Allies" invented
operations research in WWII...), they will apply their
resources to other targets where the ROI will be better.
