An Open Letter To The Cowards
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 its people. America is about an IDEA: Life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. No guarantees that you'll reach it, but you can
sure try!
Go ahead and whine, you coward. Whine and chant your terrorist
litany: "If you cannot 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.
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. 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.
