An open letter to a terrorist:
Well, you hit the World Trade Center, but you
missed America. You hit the Pentagon, but you
missed America. You used helpless American
bodies, to take out other American bodies, but
like a poor marksman, you STILL missed America.
Why? Because of something you guys will never
understand. America isn't about a building or
two, not about financial centers, not about
military centers, America isn't about a place,
America isn't even about a bunch of bodies.
America is about an IDEA. An idea, that you can
go someplace where you can earn as much as you
can figure out how to, live for the most part,
like you envisioned living, and pursue
Happiness. (No guarantees that you'll reach it,
but you can sure try!)
Go ahead and whine your terrorist whine, and
chant your terrorist litany: "If you can not see
my point, then feel my pain." This concept is
alien to Americans. We live in a country where
we don't have to see your point. But you're free
to have one. We don't have to listen to your
speech. But you're free to say one. Don't know
where you got the strange idea that everyone has
to agree with you. We don't agree with each
other in this country, almost as a matter of
pride. We're a collection of guys that don't
agree, called States. We united our individual
states to protect ourselves from tyranny in the
world. Another idea, we made up on the spot.
You CAN make it up as you go, when it's your
country.
If you're free enough.
Yeah, we're fat, sloppy, easy-going goofs most of
the time. That's an unfortunate image to project
to the world, but it comes of feeling free and
easy about the world you live in. It's
unfortunate too, because people start to forget
that when you attack Americans, they tend to
fight like a cornered badger. The first we knew
of the War of 1812, was when England burned
Washington D.C. to the ground. Didn't turn out
like England thought it was going to, and it's
not going to turn out like you think, either.
Sorry, but you're not the first bully on our
shores, just the most recent.
No Marquis of Queensbury rules for Americans,
either. We were the FIRST and so far, only
country in the world to use nuclear weapons in
anger. Horrific idea, nowadays? News for you
bucko, it was back then too, but we used it
anyway. Only had two of them in the whole world
and we used 'em both. Grandpa Jones worked on
the Manhattan Project. Told me once, that right
up until they threw the switch, the physicists
were still arguing over whether the Uranium alone
would fission, or whether it would start a
fissioning chain reaction that would eat
everything. But they threw the switch anyway,
because we had a War to win. Does that tell you
something about American Resolve?
So who just declared War on us? It would be nice
to point to some real estate, like the good old
days. Unfortunately, we're probably at war with
random camps, in far-flung places. Who think
they're safe. Just like the Barbary Pirates did,
IIRC. Better start sleeping with one eye open.
There's a spirit that tends to take over people
who come to this country, looking for
opportunity, looking for liberty, looking for
freedom. Even if they misuse it. The
Marielistas that Castro emptied out of his
prisons, were overjoyed to find out how much
freedom there was. First thing they did when
they hit our shores, was run out and buy guns.
The ones that didn't end up dead, ended up in
prisons. It was a big PITA then (especially in
south Florida), but you're only the newest PITA,
not the first.
You guys seem to be incapable of understanding
that we don't live in America, America lives in
US! American Spirit is what it's called. And
killing a few thousand of us, or a few million of
us, won't change it. Most of the time, it's a
pretty happy-go-lucky kind of Spirit. Until
we're crossed in a cowardly manner, then it
becomes an entirely different kind of Spirit.
Wait until you see what we do with that Spirit,
this time.
Sleep tight, if you can. We're coming.

kylläpäs oli paikkaan tuoki viesti
löytäny...varkokaa täältä tullaan..voi voi
that was great what you said, thanks!!
Terrorist, be carefull, sleep only one eye closed,
youll never know whos standing beside your bed...
That´s really the right attitude. You shouldn´t
feel sorry for them who did that and you really
shouldn´t feel pitty for them. They we´re/are
sick and twisted minded pasterds who need to get
a lesson from someone and that someone (this
time) is US. They who did this should really be
scared now, ´cause everyone knows that USA will
fight back.
And like Bush said: "this is WAR!"
OK I DON'T AGREE WITH TERRORISTS DASTARDLY DEED.
IT WAS CRAZY, BUT THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND
MILITARY (NOTICE NOT THE PEOPLE I AM AGAINST.
IT'S YOUR GOD DAMN GOVERNMENT) BOMBS IRAQ VERY
COWARDLY WITH AIRPLANES AND TOMAHWAK CRUISE
MISSILES. WHO THE FUCK IS COWARD JUST PUSH A
BUTTON AND BAM. THOSE GUYS WHO DID THE ATTACK WAS
NO COWARDS BUT HIS DOES NOT MEAN I AM FOR THESE
KIND OF TERRORIST DEEDS. BUT LOOKS TO ME IT WAS
PAYBACK TIME. US WANTS TO ACT LIKE A SOME KIND OF
WORLD POLICE AND YES WHAT ABOUT YOUR TERRORIST
DEEDS IN VIET NAM , CAMBODIA ,LAOS AND OTHER
PLACES. YES YOU ARE THE MIGHTIEST FOR NOW AND
THEY WRITE THE SUBJECTIVE HISTORY WHICH THE
MAJORITY OF BRAINWASHED INDIVIDUALS BELIEVE IN.
NOTICE ONCE AGAIN THIS IS WHAT I THINK ABOUT THE
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND IT'S LEADERS NOT THE
PEOPLE. THE BLAME FOR THIS ATTACK IS THE AMERICAN
GOVERNMENTS AND YES THEY SHOT DOWN THE FOURTH
JUMBO TO MINIMIZE CASUALTIES AND DAMAGE AND I DO
UNDERSTAND THIS.
