11, 2001 - "The First War of the 21st Century"
Remember
- 9/11/01
On September
11th, 2001 the United States was attacked by terrorists when the Twin Towers
of the World Trade Center were struck by high jacked jet airliners. A
third plane struck the Pentagon and fourth was heroically retaken by passengers
over Western Pennsylvania but still crashed in the struggle. Here
you will find some of the requested graphics, midi files and links that you
can use on your own websites or to share with friends.

- have the idea of wearing armbands with their old unit
patches while flying as a deterrent. They ask that any
active duty or call up people travel in uniform. A neat
idea that this short space can't justify, confidential contact
info for this is available to any host
Here is the link for one of those neat little Java games
online. Here you waste bin Laden in a liquor store - www.fieler.com/terror/

Much is being made of the fact that
major media won't allow people to access images or footage of
September 11, 2001. Some say it's "inflammatory" to
bring it up again. This picture of a person jumping from the WTC
is indeed upsetting. It is also history,
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. 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 States. We united our individual states to protect ourselves from
tyranny in the world. Another idea, we made up on the spot. You CAN make
it up as you go, when it's your country. If you're free enough. Yeah,
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 you 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 of 1812, was when England burned Washington
D.C. to the ground. 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're
not the first bully on our shores, just the most recent.
No Marquis of Queensbury rules for Americans, either. We were the FIRST and
so far, 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 anyway,
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. 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), but you're 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'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.

Dear Osama Bin Laden,
We are pleased to announce that we unequivocally accept your challenge to an old-fashioned game of whoop-ass. Now that we understand the rule that there are no rules, we look forward to playing by them for the first
time. Since this game is a winner-take-all, we unfortunately are unable to invite you to join us at the victory celebration. But rest assured that we will toast you -- LITERALLY. While we will admit that you are off to an impressive lead, it is however now our turn at the plate. By the way, we will be playing on your court now.
Batter up.
Sincerely,
The 270,000,000 citizens of the United States of America
