        To begin a day with a breath of life allows one the opportunity to
take their known life for granted.  Now everyday that Americans wake in the
morning they are praying and breathing a sigh of relief knowing that they
are allowed to see this day, and pray they will see tomorrow.

        It is the very reason that you speak of, the very fact that this
country is very emotional, we are all taken by the awe that now faces us on
the tv.  We wake up now knowing that life is different.  The price of your
"peace" is at the cost of others elsewhere in the world.  The very reason
that we need to think of a strike in these our dark hours is because the
very "enemy" works on terrorising us when we start to see light.  You are
asking for us to sit back, to take a breath and to just relax, try and find
the reason, find out what they want.  I tell you that those in charge of
making the desisions have already asked those questions, that is their job.
They do not want to have to wait to lose more lives, before they start to
think about what to do.  How naive to think that this was a one time
incident.  How naive to think that the perpetraitors have now assessed what
they have done and descide that "Wait, maybe we were wrong to have done
this."

        You are not going to wake up tomorrow and witness a remorsful evil.
You will not wake up to a world peace.  These are men who believe their sole
mission in life is to give up their life for their God.  They are like an
arrow headed strait for your head, and no matter how much of that arrow you
happen to cut off before it hits you, there is still more coming at you.
You have to strike before the next piece hits you.  It will not pause to let
you think about it, it will not stop to allow you time to realize what has
happened, it will not cease to allow you time to look to see who shot it.
You cannot move out of the way, for they will just fire another, and you
will have more of an arrow to widdle away at.

        We do not live in conventional times, and we are not facing a
conventional enemy.  It is clear with a strike on civilians, AND a strike on
the military, they wish to inform The americans that they are at war with
us.

        Pray, and pray like you have never before.  Thank The Ulmighty that
this was all we have received.  We could have been hit even harder, and even
closer.

        I myself have a wife, and children of my own, I look at them and cry
thanking God they are still here with me.  I see that the world I was
brought up in, is not going to be the same world they are brought up in.  I
do not want to go to war, I wish this would all go away, I hate the thought
that more men and women, military, and civilian have to shed their blood.
But this is life, Peace is not handed to you on a silver platter, you have
to earn it, ,and now we have to retake the test.  We are not all taking the
same test on our own.  We are all a team, and we all have to be able to take
the test together, without fighting over the answer.  Rest assured, the more
time you give Terrorism, the more time they have to strike, and these men
will untill their death.
