Letter to the Terrorists
Dear Whomever,

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, it isn't about financial centers, not about military centers, America isn't a place. America isn't even 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 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, even
a few million of us, won't make it go away. Most of the time, it's a pretty
happy-go-lucky Spirit. Wait and see what we do with that Spirit this time.
Sleep tight, if you can. We're coming.

Forever Proud,
America
