Since 2001 in the US:
Terrorism = 3,000
DUI+HIV+Suicide = around 300,000

For the average American, you are either just plain stupid or 9/11 coverage is a form of entertainment for you. Otherwise you'd demand that more pressing matters be focused on instead.
You apparently forget that the victims of terrrorism were just minding their own business when they were meaninglessly snuffed out. DUI/HIV/Suicide deaths are the result of personal choice. (with the exception of those innocents killed by DUI drivers) Thanks for calling us all stupid though.
