If we had lost 50,000 people on 9/11, the president would have been impeached within a week unless he turned every Islamic capital in the Middle East into smoking ruins.

Actually, if you had told people on 9/12/01 that within the next 6 years the U.S. would lose 3,000+ troops in a war whose only purpose was to establish and prop up a dysfunctional government in Iraq -- under which Islam is enshrined as the official state religion, mind you -- I bet no more than a handful of them ever would have believed you.
