Well, around year-end 2001; bin Laden boasted in one of his taped messages that the 9/11 attacks would cost US the princely sum of ONE Trillion dollars. But of course it'll be much more. Over a five year period this whole mess, a series of wars, excessive security, keeping the nation constantly on alert, bankrupt airlines and insurers and future terror attacks will probably cost Uncle Sam and US business altogether 3-5 Trillion. That is a conservative estimate. In the meantime China and India grow stronger and will absorb millions more of US jobs. As before; The dollar is simply toast.
