If we did not attack Iraq, how many Americans would have died post 9/11?

[Onlooker]

That is, how many Americans would have been killed by terrorists or Saddam's agents?

4. Seems unfair to add a '0' now

Even if I could, it would be unfair to those who already voted. However, '0' is certainly 'under 100.'

9. Well that's assuming you meant by

swarthy Mid Easterners. Original question was kind of ambiguous. Lots, thousands, millions have died since 9-11.

13. Read the text directly above the poll ...

The poll-creation interface doesn't allow for long questions, so I think I addressed your point with the text that appears right below the poll question and above the poll, where I added, "That is, how many Americans would have been killed by terrorists or Saddam's agents?"

16. 9/11 Was Not A Terrorist Attack

The only thing real about 9/11 was the body count. All of the proof is available for download or DVD at

17. Sorry Folks But It Is MORE THAN ZERO. How About The Anthrax?

Itr wasn't mass casualties but, people seem to forget all about that when post 9/11 terror (or lack there of) is discussed.

Less than 100 but, more than zero...

Of course we have no idea who was responsible for the anthrax attacks. I'm surprised they didn't try to blame that on Saddam too!

19. There are no links on the Anthrax pointing to something

outside of the US. Therefore it looks more like a local idiot who did it. There are no links whatsoever to Saddam or Al Qaeda or Osama.

The anthrax came from Ames.

All the anthrax found in the letters is now known to be from the "Ames strain", which originated in Texas and was sent to the US Army for research in 1980. The Army later distributed it to various academic institutions for study. Since that time the strain has been further widely distributed to researchers around the world. A DNA analysis shows that the anthrax originated at the USAMRIID facility in Fort Detrick, MD. While other government laboratories obtained Ames anthrax from Ft. Detrick, the number of such labs is not very large.

According to FBI profilers, the anthrax mailer is almost certainly familiar with Trenton (NJ), or lives close enough to drive there. Most criminals, the profilers say, act where they are comfortable. However, it seems to me that "close enough to drive there" includes a lot of territory - including New York City.

"FBI officials said they doubt the letters were sent by Middle Eastern terrorists because they do not resemble other such letters sent in the past. One official said that such letters typically include some Arabic text, but these do not."
