Putting 9 / 11 Into Perspective

To Anyone Supporting Torture and War to Keep America Safe:

A climate of FEAR has spread throughout the land since the World Trade Towers were brought down in September 2001. We lost over 3,000 Americans that day. Seems to me 9 / 11 ought to be put in perspective. We lose more than 44,000 smokers in the U.S. every year. More than 37,000 Americans died in auto accidents in 2008. That alone is more than ten times the number who died in the Twin Towers attack. The percentage chance of being killed by a terrorist on that day works out to .0000098. Check the math. The population of the U.S. is approximately 306 million.

Seems to me the climate of FEAR is way, way overblown.

And by the way, the Republicans quaking in their boots and running around starting wars and torturing people are the real Wimps. Cowards. As evidenced by the way both Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld and many of the rest of them avoided military service.
