Oct 9, 2026, 6:52 PMOn Sept. 11, 2001, 2,977 people were killed by airplane hijackers, mostly Saudi Arabian citizens. The post-9/11 wars waged by the Bush administration directly killed (conservatively) nearly a million people in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere.
And yet in remembering 9/11 on its 25th anniversary, US corporate media opinion sections overwhelmingly focused on the victims who died on 9/11, largely ignoring the post-9/11 victims who outnumbered them more than 300 to 1.
