There's documented evidence that incidences of ASD (Acute Stress Disorder) and PTSD increased after 9/11, nationwide.
You can (and I would) argue that this is becuase people were glued to their TV sets, but to say that they should not /have/ PTSD, because they should not be so attached to America as a notion, is dismissive and unkind to quite a large number of people.
