[ Set Up ] George W. Bush (Kurt) is making a speech while a 13 yr. old girl named Katie (Lindsay) is confused as to why she fells she's the only person left in the world. Bush - On September the 11th, enemies of freedom committed an act of war against our country. Americans have known wars -- but for the past 136 years, they have been wars on foreign soil, except for one Sunday in 1941. Kaite - During 1941 my grandad died for his country while fighting in Pearl Harbor. I wish I could have heard all the war stories from my brave grandad. Bush - Americans have known the casualties of war -- but not at the center of a great city on a peaceful morning. Americans have known surprise attacks -- but never before on thousands of civilians. All of this was brought upon us in a single day -- and night fell on a different world, a world where freedom itself is under attack. Katie - There's no reason why people should be dieing! All I ever done was what my parents told me to. WHY!! What have I done that I so wrong?! Who could have done this? Bush - Americans have many questions tonight. Americans are asking: Who attacked our country? The evidence we have gathered all points to a collection of loosely affiliated terrorist organizations known as al Qaeda. They are the same murderers indicted for bombing American embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, and responsible for bombing the USS Cole. Katie - (crying) Mom, Dad I don't understand why it had to be my heart ripped out of my chest when the Lord took you away from me. Bush - Al Qaeda is to terror what the mafia is to crime. But its goal is not making money; its goal is remaking the world -- and imposing its radical beliefs on people everywhere. Katie - Is it because I stopped going to Church when mom and dad kept going. Is that why Im still alive and there not? Am I being punished for not going to communion, sunday school, or is it just because I don't understand how one man could make money from talking about God? Bush - The terrorists practice a fringe form of Islamic extremism that has been rejected by Muslim scholars and the vast majority of Muslim clerics -- a fringe movement that perverts the peaceful teachings of Islam. The terrorists' directive commands them to kill Christians and Jews, to kill all Americans, and make no distinction among military and civilians, including women and children. Katie - I thought God had gone far enough when he took my real dad away but his job wasn't done he took the only dad I knew all my life, my mom which was my heart, and my soon to be baby brother. God, you might as well take my life to, I have no life, no love, or family. What am I suppose to do now? |
