A Message to My Fellow Americans
Posted September, 2001

The 11th September attacks upon the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon here in Washington is the second act of war upon the soil of this nation I have lived through. I was eleven years old when Imperial Japan launched the sneak bombing and torpedo attack upon Pearl Harbor.

Between the two there is a marked difference and a marked similarity.
The difference is the Japanese attacked our military with theirs; the
anti-western Islamic extremists deliberately attacked our civilian population (the Pentagon was a last minute substitution for a difficult to locate White House).

The similarity is the way both infamous attacks brought our people together.

There is a patriotic "all for one and one for all" feeling in this land that rivals that of the days I remember after Pearl Harbor.

There were a few - a very few - Nazi sympathizers after Pearl Harbor who did not want us to fight Hitler. They were mostly leftovers from the German American Bund, and there are a few students today, misled by their 60's residue faculty members, who want to "talk it over peacefully" and such other peacenik nitwittery, with those who attacked us. I'd like to see what's left of them after they tried to "talk it over peacefully" with an attacking Waffen SS Panzer division!

There are also those who believe that if we strike our enemies hard, we will prompt them to attack us again. News Flash! They don't need to be prompted. The only thing that will stop them is annihilation. The world gasped at the cruelty of the attack on the World Trade Center. The only proper response is to make the world gasp at the remorsely efficient visitation of death and destruction upon our enemies and those who have in any way assisted them, by a ferocious America.

When the 7th Infantry Division went into battle against the Imperial Japanese forces on Okinawa, they did so with stakes lashed upright to the sides of their tanks. Upon those stakes were impaled the heads of dead Japanese soldiers. Old men, women, and children leapt to their deaths from cliffs at the approach of the 7th Infantry Division. That's how it is done. Let our enemies know fear-then let them know death!
