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.
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.
