On a slightly different note, about 40,000 people per year die of car accidents in the US. Many more die of other mundane things.
The number of deaths alone on 9/11 should not have caused such a big commotion. The specific people that were killed (not exactly your average schmoe), the manner in which it was done, and the threat of further attacks were the only reasonable rationalizations for the reaction that came IMO.
