A 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 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.
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.
Wait until you see what
we do
with that Spirit, this
time.
Sleep tight if you can.
WE'RE COMING!!!
