I've spent my entire career reporting on the War on Terror. Many this week have asked me for my extended thoughts on the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Here they are.

Today We Must Finally Remember What The 9/11 Commemorations Ignore
Righteous victimhood fueled the War on Terror. 25 years later, we also have to remember all of those slain under its banner
!["In a 2019 study in JAMA Internal Medicine that looked at all-cause mortality in some 16,000 older women, Lee and colleagues found that women who averaged 4,400 daily steps had a 41 percent reduction in mortality over sedentary women, and mortality rates progressively improved with more steps until they leveled off at about 7,500 steps.
Later research has shown that sedentary adults start to rack up benefits from movement with just an extra trip around the block — 500 to 1,000 steps.
The findings are heartening, Lee said.
“For people at the lower end [of physical activity], people who do nothing, they see a recommendation to get 10,000 steps and they think, ‘I can’t do that, so I might as well not get started,’” she said. “But with the research, now we can tell them that any little bit is better than doing nothing.” "](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sqhk2ksk2hgrgf7tfdztchls/bafkreia5oa5abfpu6b55c5z5qvj3yaj4grpfj76533sotr5fyq6paolm5y)
