Why is Osama bin Laden a bad person?

Why do you hate Osama bin Laden?
I've read Osama bin Laden's statement to the world. I also just finished hearing Hugh Hewitt's radio commentary likening Osama's video to Moveon.org and other far left groups. No doubt that lefty bloggers and commentators will counter by saying that Osama's message also includes a "come down and witness" call to religious conversion which they associate with conservatives (religious liberals exist. Don't they think they have the truth?).
But we should discuss things this way. Like a prism, such talk disburses the beam of loathing that Osama bin Laden righteously deserves:
Should Americans hate Osama bin Laden because his anti-corporate, anti-counter-terrorist, anti-American, anti-banking, pro-campaign finance reform, global warming alarmist rhetoric sounds like a combination of Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, and Ed Begley Jr? No. It's just an opinion. A foolish one, I think, but just an belief based on certain assumptions which I don't share or maybe some political ploy to save his baby-targeters from America's military.
Should Americans hate Osama bin Laden because he wants us to convert to Islam or is deeply religious? No. I want him to convert to Catholicism (after a record-breaking confession) and the Pope is deeply religious.
The only reason we should hate bin Laden is because he has killed thousands of innocent Americans and goes through a cartload of candles a day to light his cave from which he plots ways to kill thousands more. So, let's not discuss which political side he resembles most (is politics just a game for people?) and concentrate on why he deserves to be hunted down and killed.

To give Osama due credit, I don't have much respect for the Pope for similar reasons.
terrorists as symbolic leader and the US Administration - to avoid
scaling down the war on terror.
Obadiah Shoher rightly notes (
http://www.samsonblinded.org/news/osama-commemorates-911-1114 ) that
new Osama talks like a leftist university professor. I like Shoher's
analysis. No way a terrorist leader like Osama would use a speechwriter. Osama is famous
for his rhetoric.
Also, in the tape Osama both threatens America with attack (by
"proving" Americans polytheists) and offers (yet another time)
long-term coaching in Islam.
But his dyed beard makes me cautious. Islam's mujahedeen dye their
beards before battle.
