I FORGOT
The recent events of Tuesday, Sept. 11 have brought
death and destruction and sadness to so many people
around the world. But It DIDN'T HAVE TO BE!
Why is it, that all of a sudden we come together as
a nation? Why does it take a tragedy of this
magnitude to show our solidarity? The pictures from
TV of complete strangers hugging each other in the
streets of NYC brought tears to my eyes! For one
brief moment in time we were truly a nation of one!
All racial / ethnic / religious barriers came down!
Blacks and whites helping each other Jews and
Christians hugging and coming together! Why are we
not ALWAYS like this ???? And HOW could we, the
strongest country in the world let this happen!
Simply because WE FORGOT! EXACTLY WHAT THE
TERRORISTS WANTED!
WHEN OSAMA BIN LADEN: declared a holy war against the
US, I thought, what an idiot, then, I FORGOT!
WHEN OSAMA BIN LADEN AND HIS BUDDY, HEZBOLLAH:
attacked the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983
that killed 241 Americans, I thought This sucks!
THEN I FORGOT
WHEN OSAMA BIN LADEN: bombed the Jewish cultural
center in Argentina in 1994 that killed 95 people, I
thought, oh my God this guy should be stopped!
But then, I FORGOT!
WHEN OSAMA BIN LADEN: Bombed the World Trade center
in 1993 (the first time), that killed 6 people and
wounded over 1000, I thought to myself how horrible!
Then, I FORGOT!
WHEN OSAMA BIN LADEN: Admitted to the 1995 bombing in
Riyadh that killed 5 US servicemen, I thought, OH my
God, what a tragedy! THEN I FORGOT!
WHEN OSAMA BIN LADEN: Was named in the June 25, 1996,
terrorist truck bombing in Dhahran that killed 19 U.S.
airmen, I was outraged! THEN I FORGOT!
WHEN OSAMA BIN LADEN: bombed the U.S. Embassies in
Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania in 1998, I
thought it was so sad, then, I FORGOT!
WHEN OSAMA BIN LADEN: Was prevented from a plot to
hijack 12 planes in one day in Algeria, and blow them up,
I thought GREAT work FBI! THEN I FORGOT!
WHEN OSAMA BIN LADEN: This past February, renewed his
threat of a "jihad" or holy war against the U.S. and, in
speaking to an Arabic newspaper, bin Laden said, "We had
thought that the Riyadh and al-Khobar blasts were a
sufficient signal to sensible U.S. decision-makers to
avert a real battle between the Islamic nation and U.S.
forces, but it seems that they did not understand the
signal." I thought to myself this guy must be stopped!
THEN I FORGOT!
WHEN OSAMA BIN LADEN: Sent his "punk ass" henchmen to fly
airplanes into the Word Trade Center, killing what will
probably be over 10 thousand people, and THEN fly an
airplane into the pentagon and kill (NO MURDER)
I PROMISE YOU, I WILL NOT FORGET!
Please, Please, Please, if you are reading this, don't look
away when they show the airplanes flying into the buildings
on TV, look at it over and over again !! Don't stick your
head in the sand! Remember how despicable the act was,
remember the loss of life, don't shield your children, use
restraint, but help them understand it, and remember it!
They are our future! You will go back to work, and resume
your daily duties, but, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, DON'T EVER
FORGET! I assure you the terrorists around the world are
counting on us to! I fear the next time we will
see a mushroom cloud on our beautiful horizon! Then it will
be too late! All because WE FORGOT!
Maybe one of the reasons we won WW 2 , was because
everyone.............................REMEMBERED PEARL HARBOR!
Please pass this around the net, to your friends! |
