Can We Make Sense Of The Senseless?

I've been trying to make sense of what would appear to be a
senseless attack on America by crazed, religious zealots.

After the initial numbness wore off and after spending many
sleepless nights trying to find a rhyme or reason for what
happened, I've come to some disturbing conclusions.

They are not crazy.

It's far too easy to dismiss these terrorists as crazy. They
aren't crazy. They are cold, calculating and they know
what they are doing and why.

Their goal is not just to eliminate and desimate America,
they are sending a message to the world of their hate for:

Democracy

Individualism

Freedom Of Religion

Freedom Of Speech and Thought

Capitalism

We were the "Great Experiment" that started as nothing more
than thoughts in the minds of a handful of rugged
individualists.

We removed the barriers of the class system. We eliminated
the concept of the individual as a servant to the state.

I can sit and write this without fear of having my door
...
... icked in. I don't worry that troops will drag me out of my.
house for exercising free speech.

I have the freedom to practice any religion or no religion.
The choice is mine, not the states.

My grandfather ran away from home at 16 years old and was
able to come to this country alone and without even the
ability to speak our language.

He was given the freedom in our Capitalist society to start
a business, which still stands today and is run by my
father.

These are the principles Ben Laden and the terrorists were
attacking. Not just the people and property of America.
They coldly and calculatedly were attacking the hopes and
dreams we stand for.

They are not crazy. They are not religious. No true Muslim,
believes in the killing of the innocent.

They are not just anti-American, they are anti everything
America stands for. We were the last bastion of tranquility
in the world.

We were the last place on Earth considered safe by every
free thinking human on Earth.

That's why they sang God Bless America across the globe
yesterday. That's why a woman in France said everyone is an
American today.

America is not just it's physical boundaries. It's not just
it's people. It's a mind set. It's the hopes and dreams of
so many who've never even set foot on our shores.

With all our blessing comes the responsibility to go forward
and to keep the "Great Experiment" alive.

We are here to stay and all we ask is "Don't Tread On Me."

God Bless America and God Bless everyone around the globe
who were Americans yesterday.

God Bless
