"Sounds like it was more talking about peace of mind and psychological impact to the American society"

You may be right. But even if he was, there is no comparison imo. Having 3,000+ of our citizens killed by extremist terrorists is far more troubling to me than the realization that some wealthy business men (and women) are crooks. If I compare waking up to the news on 9-11 to the news of financial fraud at Worldcom it is still not even in the same league. 9-11-01 is of a magnitude of 1,000's of times worse for me at least. And my guess is that most Americans are more troubled by that than by Worldcom's accounting illegalities. Not so for you?
