If you look at the statistics, the terrorists have "won" because we simply keep feeding the fear. 150,000 + died from homicide in the USA in the last nine years. More people have died from Cancer, heart attack, etc. You know how we are actually safer now in the airplanes?
Following this reasoning, one should conclude that 9/11 was nothing particular: "only" 3,000 dead people, 1/50 of the total amount of those that die for other reasons in one year. For the very same reason, when somebody get crazy, take a rifle and kill ten people, it's 1/3000 of that amount, etc... Does this suffice to demonstrate that there must be something wrong with your reasoning?
