That was an act of war. The war part makes it material. Acts of suicide are a different scale. An insignificant percentage of people dying from their own actions does not make a crisis.
I did not seem to see the word — CRISIS in the article.
Acts of suicide are of course different from acts of terrorism. However, the outcome is the same — PEOPLE ARE DEAD BY KILLING. And note: According to the article, this is a YEARLY occurrence.
First sentence reads:
“It’s estimated that at least 400 U.S. doctors kill themselves every year.” ( you are free to question that stat, I don’t have the time to check its validity ).
I don’t seem to hear people saying that an insignificant percentage of people dying from a rare occurrence of terrorism in this country does not make a crisis.
