First of all...
Can you read? Any of you? I said there are many other issues that also deserver attention, where more people are dying and it can be prevented. Read my first sentence 7 or 8 times until you understand the words within it. Then I was asking for other stats. Honestly, try understanding the words you read before you post.
However, since so many of you got your panties in a buch, 9-11 is just ONE DAY where Americans finally get to know what it feels like to be an Iraqi. Iraqi has 9-11 every day, thanks to the United States.
Imagine if this happened every day here. Every day, in several cities, over nothing.

Exactly.
Not only spending trillions of dollars that you don't have, but killing 100s of 1000s of people who had nothing to do with 9-11. What's up with that? Oh yea... OIL is up with that.
If the Gov spent 1/2 of the money trying to fight cancer (or any of them), as they did fighting these two useless wars, they just may be able to beat them and save millions of lives around the world. Though, there is more money in cancer treatment so that's not going to happen.

Actually, if they did keep everyone up to date on IMPORTANT information, less people would die for stupid, preventable deaths.

Give what a rest? Seeking information? Right, then I would be like the rest of you. No thanks. I prefer to continue my quest for information and truth.

Nor did my post say it did.

You wouldn't know it today.

Were they? I couldn't say either way but there is a lot of evidence piling up to say otherwise.

9-11 had an impact on security, not the WORLD economy. I hope you're not implying that todays economic problem stems from 9-11.
