Yes, the 9/11 attacks were horrific, but they were more about optics than actual harm, wrote the diarist Something the Dog Said at Daily Kos. The economy was already taking a hit before the Twin Towers fell. The reaction of the nation to seeing two major buildings in New York fall on T.V. has boosted the attack out of proportion. While the loss of even a single life is to be condemned and the devastation these deaths caused the families of those killed, more than this number of teens are killed every year in car crashes. These are also tragic losses but we do not make the kind of high profile issue of it that the 9/11 attacks are.
AMazing! Equating the slaughter of 9/11 to “car crashes”!
WOuld he also have said that about Pearl Harbor where less human life was lost?
