There are those of us who look at your actions=20 as irrational, twisted, and completely inhuman. By all measures, what=20 you have done can only be seen as insane. I have news for you. We're=20 more nuts than you, and it should scare you s***less.=20 You may think that when you die for your cause, you go to Paradise with= 72 virgins,=20 can leave reservations for 70 members of your family, all your sins=20 are forgiven, and you sit at the side of Allah.=20 Big deal.=20 We had 39 guys who rented a Southern California mansion, castrated them= selves, built a=20 web site, and proceeded to poison themselves to death to hitch a ride=20 with aliens out on the Hale-Bopp comet.=20 You shoot guns into the sky to celebrate victories over enemies, and pe= ople are killed by the bullets=20 raining down on them. We not only do this for New Year's Eve in some=20 cities, but we burn houses down, tear up streets, loot and sack our=20 stores, and beat our selves senseless when our sports teams win=20 championships. Sports teams!=20 We made a sequel to Police Academy 5.=20 We gave an award for singing to two guys who never even sang. We put=20 little sweaters on dogs.=20 We think Elvis is still alive.=20 We put Braille on drive-up automatic teller machines. We think that a sim= ple button on a=20 web site that says "Do not click if you're under 21" will do anything=20 but cause a person under 21 to click on it.=20 We take a large chunk of=20 the island on which those buildings you destroyed sat and pretend that=20 it isn't a part of our country after all, let people fly in to our=20 airports that we want to kill, drive them in limousines to speak=20 against us on this "pretend territory" land(UN Headquarters), let them driv= e back to=20 our airport, and let them fly them back home without a scratch.=20 We sell hot dogs in packages of ten and the buns in packages of eight. We= =20 can't even decide if pitchers should have to bat for themselves or=20 not. All those baseball fields we've got. none of them are even=20 remotely the same size.=20 We gave millions of dollars to a guy that told=20 us that God was going to kill him if he didn't raise enough money.=20 When he didn't get enough money, he didn't die. So we gave him more=20 money in celebration of the fact that God didn't make him die.=20 `We've managed to keep the formulas for Coca-Cola and Kentucky Fried Chicke= n=20 secret for decades, we encrypt the most banal communications on our=20 Information Superhighway, and yet we given away our most important=20 nuclear secrets to the Chinese and Russians at the drop of a hat.=20 And yet, with all this on the A-1 Psycho balance sheet, you still think=20 you're more nuts than us and that this won't result in your complete and=20 utter annihilation?=20 One way or another, your way of life will be over,=20 period. Freedom's kind of a crazy, kooky, nutty thing when you look=20 really close at it and all the bizarre and loony things that can=20 result from it, but it's better than any other ideas anybody else has=20 come up with. It's been that way since 1776, and built to last no=20 matter how insanely we try to screw it up on a daily basis. We are=20 even so nuts and ruthless enough as a nation to start insanely tearing=20 at those of ourselves that even remotely resemble you in such=20 rancorous, deplorable, and angry ways that will make you wonder if=20 Allah has enough glue to piece enough of you back together for a flesh=20 paperweight in Paradise.=20 We may not know where you are now, but when=20 we do I guarantee you that the majority of our high school children=20 will still have no idea where on the globe you are or where you=20 will end up being buried. But we will send them anyway, and we will=20 allow those of them that went into the armed services because they=20 didn't manage to get into college *still* to rain down Hell and fire on=20 your worthless hides.=20 It will all come down on you, because we're nuts=20 enough to give all four of our branches of military services extremely=20 powerful and deadly aircraft even though only one of them is actually=20 called the Air Force.=20 Picking a fight with the most insane nation on=20 Earth with the hope that your message and influence will spread=20 throughout the world, well, that's just downright stupid.=20 --=20 "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." -- Albert Einstein --=-L9s3g4kJHzEaENznO8Lc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQA7wovL8roUgVY5MsERAkOPAJ9TzFktbg232jmn4U/Gm3u7NXT+/wCePM+F 26c6pAuei1LYgcPQuiiJdGE= =cb2Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-L9s3g4kJHzEaENznO8Lc--
