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.
