Please stop calling 9/11 "the worst terrorist attack in our nation's history"

Someone on another thread referred to 9/11 as such, and while it's accurate it doesn't express the severity of that day.

According to http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/terrorism/wrjp255i.html, 9/11 is:

The deadliest terrorist strike in the United States--there are eight attacks on this list; the next-deadliest attack was Oklahoma City, which claimed 169 lives.

The deadliest terrorist strike worldwide. The next-deadliest attack on this list was a day of car-bomb terror in 1997--in two Iraqi cities. That day claimed 520 lives.

The attack producing the highest number of non-fatal injuries, at 8900. Taking second place in this category was the Tokyo Subway nerve gas attack.

Not only is it the worst terrorist attack in our nation's history, it's the worst terrorist attack the world has ever seen. And the Republicans were in charge when it happened.
