A Minor Event
in Terms of War Casualties Worldwide
9/11:
an Historical Context
By
CHRISTOPHER REED
On this day three years ago a total
of 2,973 people died in America at the hands of 19 Islamic terrorists
in the most devastating domestic attack the US had ever experienced
(the War of 1812 only killed 2,260 Americans, even although the
Brits burned down the White House).
The 9/11 event was immediately
denounced as an act of war, which it was (though by whom?), and
the Bush administration quickly promised constant war against
terrorist "evil" in reply, a notion the president continues
to re-iterate.
But Americans have yet to be
offered 9/11 in any historical context. Indeed, any discussion
of terrorism as acts of war that is not 100% condemnatory is
branded as unpatriotic. Because of this, U.S. citizens are missing
important truths and cannot weight the attack of three years
ago in any sensible way.
It is curious, too, that trying
to find a detailed analysis of the 9/11 deaths is a difficult
task. On the world wide web, the most recent breakdown of the
figures come from an article in a newspaper in Iowa. Is there
a reluctance because the total, almost never stated precisely
but at 3000, does not quite blend with the hysterical invective
that still blurs discussion about its implications?
In historical terms of war
casualties worldwide, 9/11 was a relatively minor event. But
because for two centuries Americans have lived invulnerably,
protected by two vast oceans and confident no foreigners could
invade or even bomb them, the Sept 11 carnage was psychologically
catastrophic. Americans said it changed the world, but in fact
Americans, or the US government, are making the most changes.
Some comparisons: From September
to May 1941-42, the Nazi bombing blitz on Britain killed 40,000,
all civilians and 5,000 of them children. At that rate Americans
would have to experience identical 9/11s once a week for over
three months to equal Britain's suffering.
America's worst losses of its
own were in the Civil War (1861-65), when a total of 214,938
on both sides died in combat. But in the early hours of one day,
March 10, 1945, more than 300 US B-29 planes fire-bombed Tokyo
in a meticulously planned air-raid that incinerated 108,000 Japanese
in their homes. Of those, 88,000 were never identified and all
were civilians, many children.
Turning to larger statistics
of World War II (some of which do vary), we find megadeath. The
number of Chinese civilians who died was 7.75 million; Soviet
Union, 7 million; Germany, 2.75 million; Japan, 672,000. Then
there is a zero -- the United States lost no civilians, say some
statistics. Others put it at 6,000, but those were non-military
citizens killed abroad, not at home.
World War I was the notorious
charnel house. On July 1, 1916 on the first day of the battle
of the Somme, opver 20,000 British soldiers were killed, mostly
by German machine guns. It was the worst disaster in British
military history. In the navy battle of Jutland on May 31, 1916,
the Brits lost 6,097 sailors and 14 ships, with the Germans suffering
"only" 2,551 deaths and 11 ships for a day's total
of 8,648 dead.
But what about those sissy
French? Between August 4, 1914, the first day of the war, and
the 29th of that month, 260,000 French soldiers had perished.
By the autumn the French had lost more men than the whole of
the US army's deaths in the entire 20th century.
The US lost 47,752 military
personnel in the Vietnam war (1964-73) and another 33,629 in
Korea (1950-53). Its total killed in combat in World War II was
292,000, more than Britain, which lost 264,000. But 2.05 million
Chinese military were killed and 1.3 million Japanese.
These were set wars, it may
be said, and the "war" against terror is not so formalised.
True, but again no statistics are offered. For instance, although
the terrorist "Troubles" in Northern Ireland lasted
from 1969 to 1998, the total killed on all sides exceeded 9/11
by 495, for a total of 3,468 in a part of the UK with only a
population of 1.5 million, about the same as Manhattan, during
that time.
If we are seeking civilian
deaths on 9/11 we should exclude the Pentagon's 125 deaths. Not
all of them were in uniform, but official web sites are poor
on any breakdown. Removing them all drops the total to 2,848,
a shocking number to be sure, and one which offers for the bereaved
no comfort in comparison.
But that is not the point.
It is that the world is a shockingly violent place and Americans
should be advised of this.
Professor Rudolph Rummel, of
the University of Hawaii and formerly Yale, is the acknowledged
expert on what he calls "domicide" or death by government.
These are killings brought about by official orders or policies
of governments whether or not elected democratically (and the
worst are usually not).
In his book called Death
by Government (1994 Transaction Publishers, NJ), Dr Rummel
estimates that the world domicide total from 1945 to the end
of the last century was over 80 million. That figure may include
acts of genocide, but does not take in deaths by famine. It exceeds
by five times the international total killed in World War II,
and in that war far more civilians perished than people in uniform.
Meanwhile President Bush is
claiming that his wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have made not
only the US, but the world "a safer place" from terrorism.
Unfortunately this is not true.
The world total for 2002 was
about 750 people killed. Last year it was around 650. This year
it already exceeds 1,000, including the recent deaths in the
Russian school, the 191 killed in Madrid in March, and the 271
in the Shiite festival in Iraq the same month.
None of this should detract
from the solemnity of today's anniversary. But the figures offered
above should be marked, as well as the 9/11 dead mourned.
Christopher Reed can be reached at: christopherreed@earthlink.net
[Editors' Note: We have some minor quibbles with a few of Christopher
Reed's numbers, in an otherwise edifying column. Military
deaths during the Civil War are generally recorded at being somewhere
between 620,000 and 700,000, a figure which rightly includes
deaths of the wounded, prisoners-of-war and by disease. Add
in civilian casualties and the Civil War death toll probably
exceeds 1.25 million. By one estimate, one-in-ten American families
suffered a casualty in that bloodfest. On one September day alone,
more than 22,000 fell on a field in Maryland called Antietam--8
times the number of casualties of 9/11. Pearl Harbor also deserves
mention in any tally of attacks on America. On that December
day in 1942, 2,403
Americans died, including 68 civilians. The death count was
slightly less than the 9/11 attacks, but the American population
was then roughly half of its present size. The events of 1812,
lost in the misty corridors of history to many, remain fresh
in the minds of both the Cockburn and St. Clair households. Cockburn's
relative, Rear
Admiral George Cockburn, sacked Washington and feasted off
of Dolly Madison's china, while the relatives of Kimberly Willson-St.
Clair hosted Little Jimmy Madison and Dolly in the Maryland countryside
(now buried under subdivisions) on their flight from Washington,
set aflame by Cpt. Cockburn's torch-wielding terrorists/liberators.
