Well, you hit the World trade center, but you missed America. You hit the Pentagon, but you missed America. You used helples 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, and live for the most part like you envisioned living, and pursue happiness. There is no guarantee that you will reach it, but you are FREE to 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 are free to have one! We don't have to listen to your speech, but you are free to say one! I don't know where you got that strange idea that everyone has to agree with you. We don't agree with each other in this country almost as a matter of pride. We're a collection of guys that don't agree, called tyranny in the world. Another idea, we made up on the spot. You can make it up as you go, when it is your country. If you're free enough.
Yea, we're fat, sloppy, easy going goofs most of the time. That's an unfortunate image to project to the world, but it comes of feeling free and easy about the world we live in. It's unfortunate too, because people start to forget that when you attack Americans, they tend to fight like a cornered badger. The first we knew of the war in 1812, was when England burned Washington, DC to the ground. It didn't turn out like England thought it was going to, and it's not going to turn out like YOU think either. Sorry, but you are not the first bully on our shores just the most recent one!
No Marquis of Queensbury rules for Americans either. We were the FIRST and so far, the only country in the world to use nuclear weapons in anger.
Horrific idea, nowadays? News for you bucko, it was back then too, but we used it anyway. Only had two of them in the whole world and we used 'em both. Grandpa Jones worked on the Manhattan Project. Told me once, that right up until they threw the switch, the physicists were still arguing over whether the Uranium alone would fission or whether it would start a fissioning chain reaction that would eat everything, but they threw the switch anyways, because we had a WAR TO WIN. Does that tell you something about American Resolve?
So who just declared War on us? It would be nice to point to some real estate, like the good old days. Unfortunately, we're probably at war with random camps in far flung places, who think they're safe. Just like the Barbary Pirates did, IIRC. Better start sleeping with one eye open!
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. The Marielistas that Castro emptied out of his prisons were overjoyed to find out how much freedom there was. The first thing they did when they hit our shores, was run out and buy guns. The ones that didn't end up dead, ended up in prisons. It was a big PITA then (especially in south Florida), so, your only the newest PITA not the first!
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 are 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.
