I came across some 9/11 statistics on the web.

Here they are:

• 36% of Americans consider it "very likely" or "somewhat likely" that government officials either allowed the attacks to be carried out or carried out the attacks themselves. (http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1531304,00.html)
• Number of bodies found intact, 289. Out of 2974 who died in the attacks.
• Number of body parts found: 19,858
• Number of families who have found no remains: 1,717
• Cost of clean up: $600 Million
• Fires continued to burn for 99 days after the 9/11 attack on site.
• 20 percent of Americans know someone who was hurt of killed in the attacks.

There are heaps and heaps of statistics out there. I partiularly found the statistics about bodies intact and number of missing remains quite disturbing.

I have found that in many websites where I have looked, detailing information about the 9/11 attacks, there is always one comment by someone who thinks America deserves the destruction.

Many people just have no reason to hate America, they just say it. I see these as unjustified hatred and just plain stupid. But those that do, have made their points, which I will outline now. Here are some people reasons for hating America.

• America is involved in the near extermination and subsequent oppression of its indigenous population
• America's involvment in the African slave trade.
• The dropping of the Atomic Bomb on Japan.
• "For being a white supremacist capitalist patriarchy"
• "America spreads oppression and death"
• America is the usurper of people human rights, democracy and civil liberties.
• Failure of America to consult its allies as promised
• Refusal to sign up to joint action against global warming
• "They are a threat to our way of life and values"
• America represents the evils of commercialisation and materialism
• Americans are ego-filled about their our nation.
• America bombed Afghanistan, Sudan, Yugoslavia and Iraq without troubling the United Nations.
• Americas set back in negotiations against the enforcing of a treaty banning biological also known as "germ weapons"
• Americas refusal to sigh the Mine Ban Treaty since it demanded the elimination of all antipersonnel land mines in 1994.
• The US contains 4% of the worlds population but produes about 25% of all carbon dioxide emissions.
• Long after Korea, landmines still kill people.
• The use of media and commercial domination forces US good into foreign markets.
