| 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 you 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, this is 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. |
