If we are not to be a part of the problem then we must be a part of the solution. what solution can you come up with to prevent these crazed maniacal slaughterers from killing more people? What would be the peaceful solution to stopping these murderers from slaughtering thousands of people whose only crime on 9-11 was going to work?
Seriously, Paul, do YOU forgive them for what they did to thousands of innocent people? Can you turn the other cheek and just let them get away with it just because the peaceful thing to do is to forgive them? Did you have anyone in the buildings on 9-11 when they came down? I was in a fit of panic for over two weeks as I waited to hear from friends who were right there. Most of them PEACE officers. I cried inside not knowing who was alive and who was dead. Nick, my ex-boyfriend was there when building 7 went down. He watched in horror as people died and he couldn't do anything about it to save their lives. He just buried a friend of his, also a police officer in January who died on 9-11 and whose body was finally exhumed from the pit of rubble that once used to be two beautiful towers. These towers were a symbol of American pride. Can you just turn to Osama Bin Laden and say, "oops, you made a big boo boo, but we forgive you. Don't do it again." Can you honestly have the audacity to believe that there is a peaceful solution to this international tragedy?
This is not just America's tragedy. It is everybody's tragedy. This is a tragedy brought on by TERRORISTS (think about that word, Paul) to terrorize us into submission, but they fucked up. They thought America would fall like the towers, but we didn't fall, we stood up and we stood proud and we are fighting back. Osama will suffer for his crimes. His people will suffer for their crimes.
Have you seen the signs with American flags that say "THESE COLORS DON'T RUN"? American's don't run from the enemy. We stand up and fight for our freedom. Perhaps you don't want to stand up for your rights. Perhaps you are comfortable living the way you live, but just imagine for a moment if you will that your wife was killed in that accident. Would you want to fight back? What if it was your child? Would you fight back? What if it was your neighbor that killed your wife or child, would you fight back then? Or would you just sit back and forgive them too. Think about it Paul. If your wife laid dead in your arms right now, what would you do? Could you forgive the person who killed her?
I agree to disagree with you, and I won't degrade your right to be an individual with individual thoughts and ideas, but goddamn I disagree with you. These muther fuckers need to die and they need to suffer slowly as they die.
