September 11, 2001 will be regarded as the day the twenty-first century for America began. The history books chapter's will start and end on that eleventh day of the ninth month. What will fill the pages of those chapters, is unwritten, and we have been given the ability to write those pages. These next days, weeks, months, and years will be etchted into history. We must remember that every event will be catalouged for the world to cheer or jeer at for all time.
The beautiful green lady, standing in New York harbor, toarch raised to the face of God has been violated. We have taken, our tired, week and poor, defended the basic freedoms of all people's regardless of nationality, color or creed. The existance of America is testimate to our strive against opression and anarchy. We have not been dealt a violent blow, but sucker punched.
When all other nations fear to stand up to the forces of evil, or have been to week to pursue, these United States of America, and it's citizens have been there for the call. No different will our response be to Osama Bin Laden, or other terrorist organizations, as it was regarding the Imperial Japanesse, the Nazis, the Soviets, or any group that has challenged America's resolve by the killing of innocent peoples.
The Americans are coming, the Americans are coming.
Woodrow Wilson adressing Congress for a declaration of war, April 2, 1917:
"...But the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts\emdash for democracy, for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own governments for the rights and liberties of small nations, for a universal dominion of right by such a concert of free peoples as shall bring peace and safety to all nations and make the world itself at last free. To such a task we can dedicate our lives and our fortunes, everything that we are and everything that we have, with the pride of those who know that the day has come when America is privileged to spend her blood and her might for the principles that gave her birth and happiness and the peace which she has treasured. God helping her, she can do no other."
