We kill people in the name of fighting terrorism. Making that kind of sacrifice in the name of other problems that kill alot more people makes sense if for anything the sake of consistency. From that perspective I can agree with the statement this "ad" seeks to make though I doubt it's authenticity and question it's effectiveness.

I think an even stronger, even more effective statement comes from showing the throngs of malnurished people living in squalor or showing the Aids patients dying in hospitals, at home, or on the street.

No need for dramatic comparisons to the Twin Towers attack when the actual
images and scope of those problems is even more terrifying and awful than what happened on 09/11. Millions sick, millions poor, millions malnourished, millions displaced. September 11th was bad, very bad but it just doesnt compare.
