Seven years have passed since the events of September 11, 2001. Lots of words have been used to describe those events but the one word, the most important word, that ought to be used is MURDER.
A group of well-educated men plotted for years to commit murder. Some were wealthy, some were doctors, engineers, college professors. They had but two things in common, an overwhelming desire for power and the willingness to commit murder.
Nothing that Americans did provoked these murders. The men who did them claimed that Islam told them to kill unbelievers. Their real motives were far baser. They hated the society that had given them all that they were. Their wealth, their education, their place in their societies all came as a free gift from the West, from America.
They hated themselves and they hated Americans.
And so, their plotting came to fruition and they murdered nearly 3,000 people.
Our society survived. Our nation prospered. We hunted them, killed them, captured them and we will now put them on trial for these murders.
And every minute of every hour of every day they will hate us and seek to murder more of us.
