An Unconscionable Attack

An open letter to the terrorists responsible for the killing of thousands of innocent people when you slammed two jet airliners into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and hijacked another that crashed in southern Pennsylvania:

It was a very cowardly act.

You killed hard working family members who had nothing to do with your philosophy or your religious beliefs. You got the attention you hunger for, but it only earned you further condemnation from the sensible world community.

You are ALL cowardly assassins who operate in darkness and flee back into the cracks. Your army attacks defenseless men, women and children, civilians who have no involvement in your cause. You have the podium, but all you did was make us hate you and your causes even more. The spotlight only exposes you for the insane barbarians that you are.

In addition to the thousands of innocent people you killed, you destroyed some of our most famous landmarks. All you succeeded in doing was focusing the worlds' attention on what consciousless cowards you are; of how little value human life has to you and others who would help you.

The core of your very beliefs is utter NONSENSE. You subjugate your women, forcing them to cover every part of their bodies; lowering their self-esteem to nil.

Your muslim edicts are contradictory to every basic human instinct. You are so eager to die and meet allah because you have enforced a life on this earth that is sheer misery. I hold your "jihad" in the highest contempt.

You brought out the best in Americans. We turned out in droves. To help our fellow men and women.

You have killed thousands of innocent Americans, but you can never kill the spirit of the United States of America.
