And the military casualties from all the other nations.

This is a pretty shitty US-centric graph. Disappearing the Afghani and Iraqi combatants, not to mention combatants from Canada, the UK, Europe, and other allied nations, is crap.

Also, even if one only worries about Westerners, it's missing the people killed in Bali, London, Madrid, and probably others that have slipped my mind just now.

Granted, 9/11 was bigger, but I'm kinda tired of hearing "your country wasn't attacked so your opinions are invalid" type arguments. If we're going to participate in the USA's follies it would be nice if we at least got some credit from the USA, because the Other Guys certainly remember our involvement...

An excellent point; I appreciate that reminder, too.
