Who was the worst terrorist - Bin Laden or Bush ?

Osama Bin Laden was one of the leaders (primarily a financier) of the al-Quaeda (literally ‘the base’) group. The stated aims of this relatively small group are to drive Americans and American influence out of Muslim nations, especially Saudi Arabia, break Israels power, and topple the brutal and authoritarian pro-Western dictatorships in the Middle East. Al-Quaeda was responsible for the attack on Americas World Trade Centre on September 11 2001 in which nearly 3000 people died. Since 2001 al-Quaeda or associated groups have allegedly been involved in a number of terrorist bombings around the world in which civilians have been killed, numbering in total perhaps in the high hundreds. Osama Bin Laden has now been executed by American troops.

George W Bush was twice president of America. He seized upon the 9/11 atrocity to pursue pre-existing plans to invade Iraq, which was in no way involved with either the attack or with al-Quaeda. He lied to his country over the reasons for the Iraq war. Over 4,000 allied troops died, estimates put the Iraqui civilian dead at over 600,000 (Lancet), and more than 4 million Iraqui people were made refugees. This was the greatest refugee and humanitarian crisis in the middle east for over 60 years. The infrastructure and institutions of the country were smashed. Bush invaded and occupied Afghanistan and, 10 years and thousands of deaths later, innocent civilian lives are still being lost there. Bush also presided over a criminal regime that practised kidnapping (renditions), illegal imprisonment and widespread, institutionalised torture.  Bush is now a free man living in Texas.

Both men are, without question, terrorists in the true sense of the word, using terror as a tactic to further their aims and bringing misery, fear and death to innocent people, but which one caused the most harm to most people and was therefore the worst (ie most effective) terrorist ? History will make its own judgement but, for me, the worst terrorist of our time didn’t wear a beard.
