I think most people here fully understand the goal. The goal is to create terror among the populace in order to exert political pressure which they otherwise do not have. The greater the terror the greater the pressure. Terror is not generated by destroying symbols it's generated by destroying people. How much terror was generated when the WTC was attacked the first time when only one person died? How much was created on 9/11? More innocent death and destruction equals more terror.
Anyone who even remotely believes the terrorists would prefer fewer rather than greater numbers of deaths has no concept of the real world.
