Considering that one of the most populated cities in the USA was targeted... i find the death toll to be rather minor. 2,992 noted human deaths and a little over 6,000 noted humans injured? In a city of more than 18.8 million in the metropolitan area alone? The other target was the pentagon... which the pentagon being attacked is more of a slap in the face than anything else.
To be honest... to be thrust into a war over such a pathetic attack is unreasonable. To even acknowledge such a foe isn't worth more than increasing airport security further.
I understand that people lost family on 11/09/01. But to be quite blunt... if religion inspired terrorism is only capable causing ~3000 people to die and ~6000 people to be injured... in possibly the most densely packed city in the USA: it isn't capable of much. However, (as atheists) we should all know the atrocities committed by the religious each day... and this is just one more event that would have been avoided if religion never existed.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
