3,000, even 10,000 people killed are a danger, but not an existential danger to the United States of America.
There was no threat that the country as a whole was in danger. We have done more damage to the American Way of Life than they did. And we took pretty good vengeance for their moves. (And no, I don't write off 3000 killed lightly. Nor do I write off the greater number of our soldiers killed since then, nor the tens of thousands of wounded.) It all still pales in numbers to the toll to Afghanistan population or Iraqis, to talk about some pretty devastated places lately. Or even the toll from the last major earthquake in China (possibly 100,000+ dead?) Or Japan with the imminent nuclear meltdown they face on top of the earthquake and tsunami. They were never in our league, I feel. We gave them more legitimacy than they earned.
