Yes, but if we had done nothing, terrorist attacks and deaths could
have been significantly higher. They've been foiled in there attempts
many times already.

While this has no business being in
sci.med.cardiology, did a little research on
putting the 9/11 terrorist episode, with its
2700 victims, into perspective. Turns out,
every 5 to 7 weeks, Americans kill 2700
Americans. 118 weeks since 9/11. About
118/6*2700 = 53,000. As you can see,
Americans represent the greatest danger to
Americans. Allowing hundreds of GI's to be
killed and spending billions of dollars on
the military enterprise is unlikely to make
the United States any safer for Americans....
Call it revenge in Afghanistan... Call it
propaganda in Iraq... But do not call it
military action to protect Americans.

by birth.)
