Cognitive dissonance, is a term used in psychology that explains the feeling of discomfort by a person who is facing two situations that contradict each other.  

An example used to explain it, is the story of the fox who very much wants to eat a bunch of grapes that is in a very high place. As the Fox can not find a way to reach it, she gives up using the excuse that the grapes are green and bitter.

To alleviate cognitive dissonance, one can:

1- Change the behavior to relieve the situation of discomfort.

2- Try to justify the discomfort with new ideas

3- Justify the discomfort.

Almost 3000 people died directly from the attacks (the official number, which includes the attackers) is 2996.

However, the actual death toll connected to the attack indirectly is bigger and it's harder to asses, as it lead to the US military actions in the middle East, searching for Osama Bin laden.
