Are you certain that none of the U.S. dead in Iraq are due to terrorism instead of insurgents? What about the beheadings?
Also, remember - there was not one single foreign-instigated terrorist attack on U.S. soil between 1993 and 2001.
In fact, Al Qaeda has become FAR more active since 9/11 and since the Iraq war:
