Since 9/11/01 how many deaths have there been on U.S. soil as result from acts of terrorism ?

Answer 1

Besides the anthrax deaths...zero. However, you could also ask how many terrorism plots on U.S. soil have been stopped since then...that number is much higher.

Answer 2

None.

And the war in Iraq doesn't count. That officially has nothing to do with the "war on terror" (which in itself is far too vague a term to have any meaning). It was to take down Saddam Hussein, and get rid of Weapons of Mass Destruction, of which there turned out to be none anyway. That invasion was nothing to do with what happened on 9/11.

The acts of terrorism which have killed US soldiers in Iraq are a direct response from a country which has been invaded, and doesn't really appreciate that fact. Hardly the same as what happened on 9/11.

Answer 3

The last major act of terrorism on US soil prior to 9/11 was in 1993. That was 8 years. Don't even begin to propose that the Bush Administration has made America safer. ALL it has done is feather the nests of all it's campaign contributors by fear-mongering, hate-mongering and war-mongering.

Answer 4

From terrorism on US soil since 9/11= 0.... However we have lost over 3000 US soldiers overseas!

Answer 5

I don't know the exact number, but its alot. Everytime some thug pulls his gat and blasts on a fool, its terrorism. Everytime some moron gets behind the wheel of his car drunk and slams into a family, its terrorism. Every murder/suicide, every robbery, every hate crime, terrorism. People focus on the war in Iraq as the only war on terrorism, but we do nothing about the terrorism in our own back yard. The VA Tech shootings? Not terrorism? You see them everyday, you work with them, you go to school with them, you stand in line with them at the grocery store. You see them walking down the street wearing their "colors", and no one does anything about it. Law enforcement in this country has long since moved from "Protect and Serve" to "Respond and Report". And what are WE doing about it? Sitting around complaining that some government administration hasn't made the world safer for you. Complaining on the Internet while the people that do care are out risking their lives and dying so that you can complain about it. You want a safer America? Do something to make it so. You know who the thugs are, tell others about them. You know the weird guy that everyone picks on at school or work. Talk to him and treat him with some respect before he shows up and starts shooting people. We can't rely on others to make our world safe, its up to you.

Answer 6

If you consider the anthrax mailings in October 2001 to be terrorism, five.

Answer 7

How about "how many hundreds of thousands of lives have been destroyed in Iraq and Afghanistan alone?"

Answer 8

As far as I know there have been none. But there have been almost 4000 American deaths at the hands of terrorists over in Iraq and Afghanistan. Is it somehow better to die over there than over here?

Answer 9

zero

Answer 10

not many
