Dedicated to the Innocent

Final Message to OBL

~~Dedicated to the Innocent~~

   The unspeakable...the unthinkable tragedy that has taken place in our country is so much more than an attack on the United States. It is a terrorist attack on not only innocent lives, but on the innocence of two more generations of the world as a whole.
    I grieve not only for those souls lost to us on Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001, but I mourn, as well, what has been torn from the hearts of young and old alike~~the belief that the human race has obtained a level of existence well above barbarism.
    Although the United States was the tool used, this act of heathenistic terror was perpetrated on the world at large. The lives lost in, and around, the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and on the hijacked planes were not only those of Americans, but other nations as well. Souls ripped from loving arms by a people that have no concept of the value of a human life, be it their own or anybody else's. For the people who performed this unbearable atrocity the value of life is equal to zero.
    The world sits in numb shock, offering heartfelt condolences, prayers, and heartwarming assistance to the United States...all are acts of wondrous, and blessed kindness. The gratitude expressed by us cannot begin to convey what is truly in our hearts. Thank you is so very inadequate, yet what more can be said? Knowing the majority of the world mourns with us is a comfort beyond description.
    The magnitude of what has taken place is a concept too enormous to be conceived; however, we must find a way to understand fully what this does, and could, mean for the future of the entire human race. What could anyone possibly hope to gain by what has been thrust upon us? Exactly what is it that has so much more worth than life? Where is it written that land...principles...beliefs...resentment...glory...
revenge are to be obtained by the senseless slaughter of the innocent?
    I was struck to my depth to hear on the radio the story of a three-year old little boy who posed this heartbreaking question to his mother..."Is the draft going to kill my daddy?" Yet again another sign of the loss of innocence for such a young generation. No one so young should have to face such a possibility, let alone attempt to understand the implications of the evil that has been wrought.

For those of you who have lost loved ones, small comfort though it may be, I grieve and mourn your losses with you. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

The Capitol Building the morning after, with the Pentagon in the fore.

9th Circuit Court

Please be aware that, although the majority of items contained in this site are not offensive to any save the world's terrorists and their supporters, the last two pages may contain items which some may find objectionable. Personally, I believe the majority of Americans, and possibly a great deal of the rest of the world may agree with the sentiments behind the final page; however, I'm aware there may be some of you who may not agree with the manner in which they are presented...I am not the person who created those items, I am merely making use of things that have made the e-mail circuit a multitude of times since the attacks in September. It isn't my intention to offend anyone, with the possible exception of those responsible for the acts of terrorism that have been perpetrated upon the world at large, and the United States in particular. As for them, I could care less about upsetting them.
