In this moment of airless shock
![Page 3: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
when hot tears sting disbelieving eyes,
![Page 4: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
the only thing I can find to say,
![Page 5: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
the only words that seem to fit,
![Page 6: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
must be addressed to the author of this suffering.
![Page 7: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
You monster.
![Page 8: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
You beast.
![Page 9: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
You unspeakable ill conceived person of origin
![Page 10: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What lesson did you hope to teach us by your coward’s attack on our World Trade Center,
![Page 11: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
our Pentagon,
![Page 12: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
us?
![Page 13: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What was it you hoped we would learn?

Whatever it was, please know that you failed.
![Page 15: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Did you want us to respect your cause?
![Page 16: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
You just damned your cause.
![Page 17: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Did you want to make us fear?
![Page 18: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
You just strengthen our resolve.
![Page 19: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Did you want to tear us apart?
![Page 20: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
You just brought us together.
![Page 21: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Let me tell you about my people.
![Page 22: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
We are a enormous and quarrelsome family,
![Page 23: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
a family divided by racial, social, political and class division,
![Page 24: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
but a family nonetheless.
![Page 25: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
peace-loving and compassionate.
We are fundamentally
decent . . .
![Page 26: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
We struggle to know the right thing and to do it.
![Page 27: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
believers in a just and loving God.
and the overwhelming majority of us, are people of faith . . .
![Page 28: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Some people -- you, perhaps -- thinkthat any or all of this makes us weak.
![Page 29: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
You’re mistaken. We are not weak.
![Page 30: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Indeed, we are strong in ways thatcannot be measured by arsenals.
![Page 31: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Yes, we’re in pain now. . .
We are in mourning and we are in shock.
![Page 32: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
We’re still coming to grips with the unreality of the awful thing you did.
![Page 33: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Both in terms ofthe awful scope ofyour ambition . . .
and the probable final death toll,
![Page 34: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
your attacks are likely to go down as the worst acts of terrorism . . .
in the history of the United States, and, probably, the world.
![Page 35: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
You’ve bloodied uslike we have never been bloodiedbefore.
![Page 36: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
But there is a vast difference between making us bloody and making us fall.
![Page 37: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
This is the lesson Japan was taught to its bitter sorrow the last time anyone hit us this hard,
![Page 38: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
the last time anyone brought us suchabrupt and monumental pain.
![Page 39: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
When roused, we are righteous in our outrage, terrible in our force.
![Page 40: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
When provoked by this level of barbarism . . .
We will bear any suffering,
![Page 41: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
pay any cost . . .
go to any length,
![Page 42: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
in the pursuit of justice.
![Page 43: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
I tell you this without fear of
contradiction. . .
I know my people, as you, I think, do not.
![Page 44: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
What I know reassures me. . .
It also causes me to tremble with dread of the future.
![Page 45: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
We’ll go forward from this moment ,
sobered, chastened, sad
![Page 46: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Butdetermined, too.
Unimaginably determined.
![Page 47: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
As Americans we will weep . . .
as Americans we will mourn,
![Page 48: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
and as Americans, we will rise in defenseof all that we cherish.
![Page 49: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
So I ask again:What was it you hoped to teach us?
![Page 50: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
It has occurred to me that maybe you just wanted us to know the depths of your hatred.
![Page 51: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
If that’s the case, consider the message received.
![Page 52: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
And take this message in exchange:
![Page 53: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
You don’t know my people.
![Page 54: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
You don’t know what we’re capable of.
![Page 55: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
You don’t know what you just started.
![Page 56: 911 My Personal Thoughts (September 11,2001)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070303/548ff4c9b47959b3668b4731/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
You will burn in HELL Osama Bin Ladenfor your barbaric acts of terrorism
