“Osama
bin Laden, you are my adversary. You
have declared me an enemy because I am an American
and for that, I must die. That being so,
then let us be certain – absolutely certain – what
exactly it is that we are battling over and dying
for. That is my purpose in this letter to
you – to clarify al Qaeda’s issues
that motivate continuing terrorist activities and
to suggest ways that the end goals may be better
achieved without the loss of more innocent lives.
The
four hijacked planes of 9/11/2001 were intercontinental
ballistic missiles, of sorts. The missiles’ pilots
came from another continent and guided them to
their targets. This 9/11/2006 “letter” to
you is also an intercontinental missile of sorts,
however it is not armed with explosives, but aimed
to help prevent further death to all parties. It
is a missile of ideas and alternate viewpoints
intended to begin a process that can lead to possible
resolutions and a cease-fire truce on innocent
lives.” (page 12 of
this letter)
Since
9/11/2001, in the past five years, two wars have been initiated
and continue on without finality. Despite unprecedented
global security measures, coordinated terror strikes are
occurring more frequently in more regions than before 9/11/2001.
Unless
a dramatic shift in the direction those current
events are heading, future mass casualties
of innocent civilians will intensify and
escalate. To
redirect this trajectory of destruction will take
the effort and will of “everyday people” to
voice their feelings and opinions in ways that
will lead to greater understanding and common ground.
You can help make a difference
in resolving our present terror dilemma. A
one-question survey to help bridge the understanding
between different cultures and religions is
offered for your participation at the end
of this letter.
