09/11 - 5 Years Later
Soooooooooooooooooo where IS Bin Laden?
Does anyone care?
Is it even related?
I severely doubt it by now.
SOME NUMBERS {I do not assume that all official stats reflect ACTUAL numbers - but even then, this still speaks for itself}:
ON 9/11 in the "attacks" on NYC, the Pentagon & Shanksville...
2,973 persons died
24 remain listed as missing
There were said to be 19 hijackers {who are not included here}.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11,_2001_attacks
So roughly, 3,000 people.

Oh and, hello? There's another "war" going on that no one talks about anymore.
AFGHANI CIVILIANS KILLED:
3000-3400 estimated from Oct 2001 to March 2002 alone. Can't find any numbers after that because apparently, no one cares. http://www.cursor.org/stories/civilian_deaths.htm
