To leave an impression that will stay forever. The more people that die, the "better reason" to go to war. It's kind of like how we didn't go to war because of the 1993 bombing of the WTC. But bringing those towers down... nobody is going to forget that, and forget that "terrorists in the middle-east did it." It's psychological. They knew that when they made Osama a scapegoat for bringing the towers down and killing thousands of people, that the citizens would hate him so much. Just crashing a plane and killing a couple hundred people isn't enough for them.
