Bin Laden Day - WTF?

OK, so somebody decides to recruit some turban-wearing idiots, and convices them they should master the skill of hijacking aircraft so they can crash into some landmark buildings. And these turban-wearing idiots agree.

Right, so over some months (or maybe even years) these guys decide they should execute this master plan. They manage to buy plane tickets on United Airlines headed to New York. Get on the plane. Sit thought the long flight, then with only a few more minutes to spare before the plane lands, they decide to take over and hijack the plane so they can seal the deal.

All this in the name of Allah/Jihad/Holy-War or whatever lame excuse they agreed to call it.

A total of 3 buildings get damaged, loads of innocent people lose their lives. People who most probably have absolutely no influence or input on whatever war was going on between the US and its enemies.
People who were merely trying to provide a better life for their families and those closely related to them.

Based on all this, I only have two fairly simple questions.

1. Why didn't the people hijacking the planes rather crash into the White House or only the Pentagon?
2. If these Middle Eastern countries are so rich from oil mining and so on... why then did they not build or even buy their own aircraft and go crash into whatever? Why still claim so many innocent lives in the process of claiming others?

Next thing the day is 'commemorated' as Bin Laden day or whatever. Though this is not the official name, it seems to have taken quite a liking to the ill-informed.
Why do have to give props to such criminal behavior? (does behavior have a 'u' ?)

Though the day is now been observed as Peace Day in some circles. Still not too sure if that's the official name for it or not. But anyways...

I know we can't keep talking about these things 7 years after they have happened, but I just wanted to get this off my chest.
