Back to our favourite, the late, not lamented, Osama Bin Laden. Apparently,a diary noting says Osama actually calculated how many Americans would have to be killed to force the US from the Middle East.

The entries appear in his seized journal and other files, reports bbc.co.uk. The Al Qaeda leader reportedly wrote that smaller attacks since 9/11 were not having the desired impact.

Bin Laden also urged his followers to strike smaller cities and hit trains. The documents were seized during last week's US raid on Bin Laden's hideout in Pakistan in which he was killed.
