THE WORLD SPEAKS OUT - Page 2

I read this quote the other day in a Gunny's office and want to say that it represents the view of myself and that of the United States Marine Corps in the wake of this unthinkable loss in a very good way.

"We the willing, led by the Unknowing;
Are doing the impossible for the sometimes ungrateful.
We have done this so much for so long, with so little;
We are now qualified to do anything with nothing."

No matter how big the task may be...the armed forces of the United States and the rest of the Free World...will pull through in this time of hostility. thanks for reading.

Hi

I am from england and I have just read every single one of the emails that have been sent. It saddens me to think that some one from england could say the words that i read in one of the emails.

Zilla note: the writer of this email then inserts here the full text of email #018

I would just like to say that the person who wrote this is in the extreme minority of our population (and probably not even truly british). Also I would like to tell of my entire family mourning for the losses of so many lifes (from all different races) even though we have no connection to these people. I would also like to say that even the bigist nations eventually fall (nothing can stop this its happend to every great nation eg the Romans and even us the british who used to rule 3 quaters of the world) but im damn sure that the USA has a huge amount of fight left in it, and im also sure that when it does fall it wont fall alone. All the people I know and probably millions more will stand by your nations as a nation and fight as one. KILL THE BASTARDS! ALL OF THEM! They call it a holy war but what God creator of all life would wish for such a cowadly massacre. Peace will only come when such evil men are fallen...............

Mourning For us ALL!

I am also very angry as every American should be at the events last week. I spent six years in the Marines during desert storm. I am glad to see that you took the time to post your letter on your page . It was an unexpected suprise. I salute you for your effort. Sad to say that most people may not take the time to actually read and repond to it. I for one stand next to you as an American and proud of it. Thank you again.

I AM 53 YEARS OLD AND WHEN I SAW WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WORLD TRADE CENTER
MY HEART SANK MY EYES FILED UP WITH TEARS , AND I STILL CRY WHEN I THINK
ABOUT IT AND I STILL FEEL THE PAIN , AND ITS SOMETHING THAT WILL TAKE A
LONG TIME FOR ME TOO GET OVER THE PAIN , BUT I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT
DAY AS LONG AS I LIVE , THE SENSELESS KILLING OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE
TOWERS AND ON THE GROUND THE FIRE FIGHTERS AND THE POLICE MEN AND
THE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS AND THE VOLUNTEERS THAT ALSO DIED TRYING TO
HELP THE OTHERS IN NEED AND LETS NOT FORGET THE THOUSANDS OF OTHER LIVES
THAT WERE AFFECTED BY THIS , THE WIFE'S THE GIRLFRIENDS THE CHILDREN
THE MOTHERS AND THE FATHERS AND GRAND PARENTS , I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY
FEEL I ONLY KNOW HOW I FEEL AND I KNOW THAT I FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN
VIOLATED AS AN AMERICAN AND I CAN ONLY GUESS HOW THE FAMILY'S ARE
FEELING AND IF ANY THING LIKE HOW IAM FEELING I FEEL TRULY VIOLATED AND
ANGERED , I DON'T GENERALLY THINK LIKE THIS BUT I THINK ALL THE
TERRORISTS AND THE PEOPLE WHO HARBOR THEM SHOULD BE LINED UP AGAINST THE
WALL AND SHOT AND WE SHOULD START HERE IN AMERICA WITH THE ONES HIDING
THEM AND PUT THEM IN JAIL FOR TREASON AND THEN SHOOT THEM SHOW THEM
THE SAME MERCY THEY SHOWED OUR PEOPLE , BUT THAT WOULD NOT BE
RIGHT BUT WAS IT RIGHT WHAT THEY DID TO US NO IT WAS NOT AND I FOR
ONE WOULD BE WILLING TO DIE , FOR THE RIGHT TO KEEP OUR PEOPLE FREE AND
I ALSO HATE THE FACT THE OTHER PEOPLE DON'T THINK THE SAME WAY WE DO
ABOUT FREEDOM , WELL IF THEY FEEL THAT WAY THEN THEY CAN LEAVE THE
COUNTRY , AND I FOR ONE AM VERY PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN AND IAM ALSO
PROUD OF THE PRESIDENT OF HOW HE HANDLED THE SITUATION COMING BACK TO
THE WHITE HOUSE HE PICKED ONE OF THE SAFEST PLACES`S IN THE COUNTRY TO
STOP BEFORE RETURNING TO THE WHITE HOUSE , IAM VERY HAPPY THE WAY HE HAS
HANDLED THIS AND I KNOW WE WILL STRIKE BACK BUT IT WILL BE IN OUR TIME
NOT THERE TIME WE WILL STRIKE WHEN THEY LEAST EXPECT IT , AND THAT IS
WHEN WE WILL INFLICT THE MOST DAMAGE ON THEM . IF THIS ANGERS SOME
PEOPLE WELL THEN YOU BETTER MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE NOT HERE THIS IS HOW
AMERICA FEELS , AND WE WILL ALWAYS FEEL THIS WAY ABOUT FREEDOM WE WILL
FIGHT TO THE LAST MAN AND WOMAN TO SAVE THE WAY WE HAVE LIVED FOR THE
LAST 200 YEARS AND I GUESS I SHOULD GO NOW AND LET SOMEONE ELSE TALK
THANK YOU FOR A PLACE TO LET MY FEELINGS OUT


AND GOD BLESS AMERICA

Zilla note: I think it is pretty damn obvious that the author of the above statement is both a conspiracy whacko and extremely anti-semitic. I personally feel that the above theory is full of holes and is nonsensical. It is also important to note that Uslama bin Laden's terrorist organization does not hate America because she is an ally of Israel...rather, bin Laden, a very wealthy Saudi who has been banned from his own country, began waging his war on America once Saudi Arabia allowed America on her soil to aid in Desert Storm. He wants freedom, democracy and the American way to be exterminated from all the Islamic countries. He hates the Israelis also because they are a democracy...not from any allegiance to the Palestinians.

041
Hypocritcal in a way considering most of the funding for the IRA comes from America.I think its tragic whats happened but its took terrorism to land on your doorstep before you realised other countries have put up with it for years.
042
i think what you wrote is beautiful and very true. i completely agree and
stand by you with all my heart.
043
Evil has struck without its face, they are cowards ,they take no claim In the aftermath of their destruction,far far too late … Realize now…what be there fate… And I sit here pondering and filled with sadness,… Im ready to join….together we stand… The only nations on the planet earth…with open and free borders Lets go men…lets kick some ass… Emotions run high…and anxiety then anger But we cant let this pass….or others will follow This was a an attack on not only the U.S. But on the free world as we know it…. And that’s how it will stay… They weren’t happy being a bunch of hypocrites… Their act of so called “vengeance”… HA…don’t make us laugh… You boy’s AINT SEEN NOTHING YET. And as for you calling it a holy war…. Damn it…couldn’t have been more correct… Cause for those of you who did it…. You’ll be seeing your god in a bit… America will not stand alone, but surrounded by friends.. Not just allies.. But friends….TO THE END…

Hi i´m a German! I was very shocked at i make my TV on untill work and see a report of the towers. At first time i had think this is a new cinema trailer, but than i know thats real. My next mind was,”oh my god”.Than my TV was turned on from PM 4:20 GMT (i think ca.10:00 AM in N.Y.) till ca. PM 11:00 GMT and all Comedys, Musikvideos,Talk shows and movies was stoped on every channels, and on every channels was the samechannel ( n-tv , it´s a german newschannel) came the news, reports and livestreams from the towers, white house and pentagon. Hmmm i cant say more than: Es tut mir leid und mein Beileid all denen in deren mitte ein tiefes unschließbares Loch durch diese aktion sollcher fanatiker gerissen wurde! ( sorry i dont know on Englich ). I think this group, persons or country who has make this must pay with his own life ( war ) but not chemical.- or atomwar while this damaged the whole earth.

Best wishes from Germany, (name)

Ps: This is a very good site

ITS TIME TO STOP LETINGING UTHERS PUSH US AND TIME TO SAY WE ARE ONE AND WE WANT BLOOD FOR BLOOD ITS NOT RIGHT THAT SOME JAKASS CAN BRAIN WASH SO MANY DESTROR SOMENY NOT JUST US BUT EVER ONE WE AS A PEPOAL OF THISE PLANET CANT SEVIVE IF WE DESTRO EVER THING THAT CLIFE HASE TO OFFER LIFE IS THE MOST INPORNTEN THING IN THE UNAVIUS .

Your remarks and sentiments were spot on. I commend you for the brass to make a statement so likely to garner the "granola" of the worlds ire.
I feel any American and particularly any Vet ought to be able to voice his opinion on any subject he feels an interest in.
I'm mad about lack of respect for the institution of our government shown by recent inhabitants, I'm mad about the lack of INS enforcement of our immigration laws, I'm mad about Christians having to justify their beliefs to illustrate their ability to be fair in their dealings in our government, I'm mad about the way we're thought of in other countries but I'm damn proud to be an American. I'm proud of the NRA, I'm proud of the Boy Scouts, I'm proud that we manage to have sites like yours, (I think the right to think and act as you please within the law is unassailable), and I'm proud that over here we're allowed to feel strongly about such seemingly diverse and disjointed subjects because we're individuals and Americans. Maybe those things are what make people who live in other countries mad at us.
The guy from England has no grasp of history, no ability with the Queens English, and is so uninformed and opinionated I think we should bomb his ass as well. (Note from Zilla - the author of this email does not specify which "guy from England", as I have received and posted several emails from England here...but my guess is that he is talking about email #013.)
Good Luck to you Sir, God Bless us Everyone....Attaboy.
047
My reply Zilla, with all due respect, is the old testament called for "Eye
for an eye, tooth for a tooth" and my order would be to get the bastards.
Enough already. Show the world we are not a puppy dog. But do it silent.
Sneak in and just do it. I'm ready to reup, to get the job done. Peace, Zilla.

PS. Zilla, your write up was beautiful. Saw the eagle with her tear. Man, it
hurt. Peace
048
hi, i'm a brazilian fan of your site and i'd like to say that i can hardly
wait for those crazy bastards to get what they deserve for this coward and
treacherous act of agression; i hope you send all those talibans to their
islamic paradise in heaven (or hell?) as soon as possible; there's one
thing i think i should say, though; most part of the leftist brazilian wing
(the ex-communists) felt a sort of macabre pleasure about this tragedy; i
tell you, this leftist people (and there are many of them in latin america)
are as crazy and dangerous as those talibans; and beware, cause we have
national elections in 2002 and their candidate (Lula of the Labor Party)
stands a good chance of winning !!!!!!!!
049
YO ZILL,
I'LL GET RIGHT TO THE POINT. IT'S OCCURRED TO ME THAT IN MY SURFING I HAVE WOUND UP IN SOME QUESTIONABLE SITES. DO YOU THINK THESE BASTARDS MIGHT HAVE PASSED INFORMATION TO EACH OTHER THROUGH ADULT SITES? I'M WRITING YOU BECAUSE I WOULDN'T KNOW HOW OR WHERE TO BEGIN LOOKING. FOOD FOR THOUGHT MY FRIEND.
TOP NOTCH STATEMENT. WELL WRITTEN, CONCISE, HARD HITTING. I SALUTE YOU SIR.

Dear friend,
in these days, hours and minutes we all are deeply concerned over which on
Tuesday 11 September 2001 occurred are. It is frightening, mourning,
indignation and rage in us all. We, even if we, away of you life, us is far
consciously that everyone of us by it is affected, no exception. We all
suffering, mourning and hoping in these days with you. My dear friend I
would like to express in this way you my embarrassment my sincere and deeply
felt condolence. I and we all here want to you our friendship with these
words to say: I am an American. It greets you your friend from Europe

A fitting end to the terrorists. We should dig pits in New York, drop in any
terrorists that are captured, put a port-o-potty over the top, and pass out
laxatives. Let 'em drown in shit and piss like the animals that they are!
053
The following is a message I sent to ABC News:
My comments concern unprofessional behavior by Peter Jennings on the
morning of September 11. As the events of the morning unfolded Mr.
Jennings repeatedly questioned and criticized the movements and
whereabouts of the President of the United States. In the face of a
horrible national tragedy when the American public was feeling
vulnerable, terrified, and angered, the last thing needed was for
someone in Mr. Jennings position to be suggesting weakness, unconcern,
and poor leadership by our country's top official.
The fact that Mr. Jennings is not fully versed on the plans in
place for the safety of the President during a national crisis is no
excuse. Nor is the possibility that Mr. Jennings may harbor some
personal disdain for Mr. Bush. Peter Jennings' job is to report the
news, not display his own misguided ideas of what should or should not
be happening when extraordinary events take place.
Had this been almost any other television reporter I would have
considered the described behavior not only unprofessional, but also
unpatriotic. But since Mr. Jennings is not from The United States we'll
have to leave it at the lowest level of unprofessional.
I should think that the very LEAST that Mr. Jennings could do
would be to OFFICIALLY apologize to the American people and to the
President himself. For me, personally, whether or not that happens, I
will no longer be able to view any program in which Peter Jennings takes
part.

60 YRS. AGO A MAN EDUCATED HERE IN THE U.S., SAID THIS TO HIS ADJUTANT AFTER PULLING OFF THE ATTACK HE PLANNED ON PEARL HARBOR, THAT STILL HAS THE SAME STING;

"I'M AFRAID I HAVE AWOKEN A SLEEPING GIANT, AND STRENGTHENED HIS RESOLVE."

Hey!

Just a little note in your time of grief, i also think that it should be a time for consideration for us all. I don't mean to even consider understating the sorrow and anger your prideful nation must feal at this very moment, but at the same time I can't help but feel pretty disgusted by the way some ameraicans express themselves these days. revenge seems to be the only thought going, without pausing to consider the effects of such actions...

First off, have you ever considered why USA is so sought after by international terrorists? Myself is also considered a veteran by having spent 4 tours to Lebannon with the UN force there, and another tour to Bosnia Herzegovina (where I also encountered numerous US soldiers, most of them great guys!). My point is, USA persistently deny UN any possibility of condemming Israel's horrendeous actions against the Palestinian people, having vetoed numerous resolutions supported by the rest of the world, and since USA have a permanent seat in the security counsil, no action can be made. I assure you all, the regular Israelli soldier is one heck of a bastard ( I have been shelled twice, and nearly overrun by soldiers driving a car on a leave in Tel-Aviv!) even though our positions is clearly faced towards Lebannon (mainly we perform checkups and tracking to prevent as much unrest as possible). The Israellians have driven approx 3 milliom peope on the run, and use every possible excuse to shell both administrative buildings and civillian targets. How would you react if Canada (ridiculous, but bear with me!) started shelling whole sections of Seattle if one sniper targeted a Canadian Soldier?

Much of the situation in the Middle East relies heavily on US shoulders due to their inability to perceive that you ally is in fact one of the most right-winged, nationalistic nations on the face of this earth, and constantly uses sharp ammunitions to take out stone-throwing youth (mostly), all the time while continuing to send settles into Palestinian turf. A simple look at your own police's efforts, or any European nation's efforts during larger demonstartions or riots clearly suggests that brute force is exaggerating, when water cannons and tear gas would be more than sufficient really.

Much of the Arab world's hatred towards USA comes directly from the very fact that US stops UN for putting preassure on Israel!

Of course, hatred don't sanction terror or violence, but US should really go into itself and see what allies they actually have (remember, both Iraq and Bin Laden are old allies of US!). You actually fought a war "to preserve democracy" in Kuwait (under 1% of the total population have the right to vote!!!) while turning a blind eye to the terror in the Middle east.

Last, hopefully we can manage to arrest and bring to trial the responsible persons for the horrible acts agains US.

A fellow Norwegian Army Professional
Note from Zilla: the author of this email, our Norwegian friend, makes some strong points and does so eloquently. Nevertheless, regardless of who America's allies are, I believe that the majority of the Arab world abhors what happened on September 11th in New York and in Washington D.C., and I believe that America has finally awakened to the fact that terrorism absolutely must be eradicated from the face of the earth. It took the terrorists themselves to "awaken the sleeping giant", just as it took the Japanese to "awaken the sleeping giant" in World War II. It is a gentle giant for the most part, but when provoked, it is a huge and terrible giant. Remember D-Day. Remember Hiroshima. America stands for freedom...when freedom is attacked, America will defend freedom with every means available.
056
I'm certainly no historian, however, in light of recent events, I've been
thinking quite a bit about the utterly incredible position the U.S. was in
at the end of WWII. Up to that point in world history, virtually any other
nation or empire in such a position would've pounced, crushing their
weakened enemies underfoot and asserting themselves as THE world power. The
Romans would have. The Greeks would have. The Imperial English would have.

But the U.S. didn't, opting instead to rebuild and steer toward democracy
those we'd gone to war against. Remarkable. Absolutely remarkable. Gordon
Sinclair was absolutely correct when he stated that America was "the most
generous and... least appreciated" nation in the world.

057
Dear Zilla,
I was just a pup when you fought for my freedom and I love you for it. It's you, your vet brothers and all the great Americans that lay their lives on the line for the freedom we enjoy, that keep this country great and I will NEVER forget it. God Bless You all.
To those that wrote in from other countries, Us Americans do appreciate our allies. It seems that some of you aren't worthy of our gratitude or our support, but you will get it anyway because you live in countries that are free, free enough to be able write the shit that I read on this site. It's obvious that you haven't a fucking clue about what it means to truly sacrifice for your freedom. I was never in the military, but, I've lost friends and family that fought for world peace. It seems like you should at least appreciate what the USA has done for you. We may not be perfect, but, we've done more for Democracy than any other country on the face of the earth.

Love the site!
God Bless You and God Bless America!

I´m afraid I can only fully agree with your first sentence. It´s an attitude like yours that will lead the world to disaster! Maybe now all Americans can fully appriciate, beyond the TV screen, how it feels for all those around the world that live with terror on a daily basis. I can provide no easy solution, but I whole-heartedly speak out against yours.
Note from Zilla: And in a free society you have the right to speak out as you have. Under a terrorist regime, you would have no such right. If you speak out against my solution, then you are basically speaking out against the solution the President Bush and the United States of America is going to use. We are going to destroy terrorism. You say you can provide no easy solution - and then you provide no solution. The USA is about to embark on a solution...whether you agree with it or not. As the President said in his speech: "Every nation in every region now has a decision to make: either you are with us...or you are with the terrorists". I think that about says it all.
059
Just goes to show how thick you are.... I feel for all the losses. Shame your country is one of the biggest bullies around... Think how many thousands died in a few seconds back in Japan?.. jog any memories... war or no war, inexcusable.... So think before you act, think what world you create... the world will not be saved by aggression... I'm not excuseing the low life terrorists.... oh, and while you are there, stop giving money to the terrorists in Ireland, not nice to be bombed....
Note from Zilla: the author of this email is British. I refer him/her to the note I wrote in response to emails #055 and #058 above.

THIS IS IMPORTANT---THE NEWS PEOPLE HAVE TO STOP TALKING ABOUT DETAILS THAT LET THE ENEMY KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING THEY HAVE TO STOP SAYING THE US IS HAVING STOCK PROBLEMS,QUIT DOING COUNTS ON JOBS LOSS.....THEY HAVE TO START SAYING GOOD THINGS AND THAT WILL HELP ALL OF US START THINKING GOOD THOUGHTS,,NOT THE NEWS SAYING WE ARE GOING DOWN BRING THESE NEWS PEOPLE OUT OF THE SPOT LIGHT BECAUSE EVERYTIME THEY SAY SOMETHING BAD THEY FEEL LIKE THEY ARE IMPORTANT...LISTEN TO THEM,,WE HAVE TO STOP IT (name)
