9/11

9/11 was horrendous.

3000 Americans did not die that day .

3000 people died from 44 countries.

Of the countries that lost citizens in 9/11. None attacked Afghanistan, Iraq except the US. The attackers came from Egypt, UAE and Lebanon and Saudi. So why attack two different countries? These wars never made sense.

Of the 19 terrorists, 15 came from Saudi Arabia, 2 from the UAE and one each from Egypt and Lebanon. Note none came from either Iraq or Afghanistan.

 

Overall the war has killed 171,000 to 174,000 people in Afghanistan.  

Population-based studies produce estimates of the number of Iraq War casualties ranging from 151,000 violent deaths as of June 2006 (per the Iraq Family Health Survey) to 1,033,000 excess deaths (per the 2007 Opinion Research Business (ORB) survey). 

 

That's a lot of dead to avenge the 2,605 US deaths. 

The winners?

• The terrorists.
• The companies that manufacture war equipment.
