This is interesting, because if I was saying that the 3000 deaths of the WTC were little compared to the 200,000+ deaths a year due to medical malpractice, it would not sound politically correct. This is in US interrest that these deaths be overexposed. On the other hand, it is politically correct and in the US interrest that the 500 deaths in combat in Iraq be underexposed, and minimized.
Even if this is not comparable to Vietnam, the fact that the 500 deaths where reached after less than year while this took three years in Vietnam is somewhat worrisome.
