Letter to terrorist

An open 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 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.

Wish I could take credit for it. Author is unknown. Very few of these hit home like this one did. Thought I would share it.

Hey Silver-Bolt,

Excellent pick of things to post.

I don't think that much could be added becuase as americans, we like to give the benefit of doubt the first time and sometimes the second time, but the third time then that's it. Three strikes then you're out.

Strike one, WTC bomb in parking garage.
Strike two, bombing of the USS Cole.
Strike three, total destruction of both the WTC towers, major destruction of the Pentagon and killing thousands of innocent victims and rescue workers at both locations. In addition, other's that took their own lives to protect our great country from additional threats from other planes like the one that crashed in Pennsylvania.

Torrorist, you're "out-a-there".
I think it's time to go to Ala, and we 'ganna' help you get there, soon.

Saw this posted to a bulletin board outside a business on my way home tonight. It read:

Give 'em Hell George--Harry did!
