The year prior to 2001 the Center of Dieses control reports the leading preventable causes of death in 2000 were tobacco (435000 deaths; 18.1% of total US deaths), poor diet and physical inactivity (400000 deaths; 16.6%), and alcohol consumption (85000 deaths; 3.5%). Other actual causes of death were microbial agents (75000), toxic agents (55000), motor vehicle crashes (43000), sexual behaviors (20000), and illicit use of drugs (17000). Once again I want to ask, did you know somebody that has died from one of these preventable causes? I would dare say the answer is yes. Since September 11, 2001 well over 2,700,000 Americans have died from tobacco, obesity, and alcohol use. How is this stupid? Americans have allowed the government to spend over $150,000,000,000 dollars on just the “war on terrorism” in Iraq. Will the war in Iraq help prevent or stop any of the top preventable deaths in the United States? No, and that is why were/are scared stupid. I end this paragraph with, 38% * of the deaths in 2001 were EASLY preventable. 9-11 only accounted for 0.001% of the deaths that year.
The war on drugs and now the war on terrorism has been a total failure. Countless BILLIONS of dollars have been wasted. How about a war on smoking? How about teaching parents that a 5 year old should not tip the scales at 150lbs? etc etc We should focus on whats preventable. We can also prevent terrorism in the US by securing our borders.
notice I did not mention Afgan. Afgan was justified attack/war. Iraq was not.
