After 18 years, I suggest we may want to reconsider our response to 9/11:
- Over 480,000 have died due to direct war violence, and several times as many indirectly
- Over 244,000 civilians have been killed as a result of the fighting
- 21 million — the number of war refugees and displaced persons
- The US federal price tag for the post-9/11 wars is over $5.9 trillion dollars
- The US government is conducting counterterror activities in 80 countries
- The wars have been accompanied by violations of human rights and civil liberties, in the US and abroad
