John: "So let's look at what we are doing to defend ourselves against that 1 in 9,270,000 chance of dying from terrorism. We are risking many American lives (more than 1 in 9,270,000?) in a war to conquer and occupy another country"

This is a perfect example of pea-brain logic.
With your reasoning, you can conclude that, when millions of Americans drive through tens of thousands of traffic lights at busy intersections every day in the U.S., with a near-zero death rate, that we would be safe to remove all these traffic lights and save on the electric bill that was used to operate them.
You are a clear illustration of someone using faulty and distorted logic to put forth his own subtle political agenda.
