Tripp Eisen on Sept. 11

"This event has touched me in a way that I have not felt in my life. I saw the aftermath of this event, the smoke rising from the skyline, with my own eyes earlier this afternoon, while driving along the Hudson River through a nearby area of New Jersey. I felt a sense of sadness. The way we live in America has been attacked. Our freedom and liberty are under assault with violence, since they cannot do so fundamentally or philosophically. America-haters are the cause, in whatever form they take. The presence of this misdirected group has been felt more today than ever in history It cannot be overlooked. It must be answered. I wish I knew who did this and the right course of action to take, but that's the monumentous task for our leaders. Let's hope they do what's right---Justice. This was a direct violent attack on Americans, as well as an attack on a symbol of human achievement, the World Trade Center. This should be a slap in the face of every American who works toward personal goals and achievements in their own life. This was an attack on our country by faceless cowards. In addition, this was an attack on our national security---The Pentagon. I feel helpless. But this is not the time to utter, "Who is John Galt?" It is a time to stand proud and demonstrate the true power of the American will. The Nazis and the Empire of Japan learned of this concept. Do not threaten us. Do not attack us. Violence will be answered with violence. A country that does not recognize the individual rights of its citizens does not have a right to exist. It is evil. We have the right to invade such countries---Especially if their government choses to be involved in actions against the United States. Lovers of freedom and liberty will rebuild and always overcome days like this. We will never be defeated. Hail our fellow Americans who lost ther lives, kill the terrorists... Hail and kill."
