The death of 3,000 is now 'minuscule'?

The USA has lost its backbone, if, like S. P. Beisiegel of Schaumburg, citizens truly believe that having terrorist murder "3,000 people, out of a population of more than 350 million -- minuscule!"

One can only wonder what threshold would need to be met before Mr. Beisiegel would agree to retaliate against those that attack the home of the brave.

Maybe Mr. Beisiegel's number is in the range of 300,000 innocent men, women and children murdered. Families or friends of the innocent murdered on 9/11 do not feel that their lives were "minuscule."
