P.S. I AM AMERICA

Dear Mr. Terrorist,

     So you felt the need to terrorize my people with a bombing at the Boston Marathon?  You felt that you could defame this historic city with such an act of violence and cowardice?  You felt that you could kill, maim, and injure hundreds of my people?  You purposely detonated bombs of terror in the public streets? You felt authority as people fled the scene, running for their lives?  You felt that your terror might rock our economy with a preemptive fall-out on Wall Street?  You felt that you could break the back of the greatest nation in the world?  You felt that you had the right?   Sorry, you did not have the right.  I am America. 

     Boston, known for its patriotism, served as an integral part to the foundation of this nation.  Bostonians were celebrating "Patriots Day" when you chose to do your wickedness.  The word "patriot" has been defined as a person who loves, supports, and defends his or her country and its interests with devotion.  So, in other words, you've awakened your worst nightmare.  Why?  I am America.

     You left the streets of Boston littered with human carnage, while you stowed away in secret.  Your attempt of terrorizing my people has been an epic failure.  Your act of terror has only strengthened the resolve of my people, my leaders, and my government to continue to battle fiends like you to the death.   You killed an innocent child cheering his father on the sidelines of your chosen secret battlefield.  You explosions tore and mutilated limbs from the bodies of innocent bystanders.  Your bombs embedded shrapnel into the flesh of hundreds.  Your preplanned menacing escapade resulted in some temporary panic and fear.   But, guess what?  I'm still standing.  I am America.

     So, are you proud of yourself today?  Do you have a conscience?  I assume you do not.  Well, you need to assume that justice will be served.  You can run, but you will be found out -- maybe in your lifetime.  Maybe not.  I can guarantee that no stone will be left unturned in redeeming justice for those hurt by your senseless act of fury.  Regardless of your future,  I am America

     Many of my people serve a just and righteous God, and He will judge you in His time.   If the scales of my justice do not execute you in this world, you can be certain that God's judgement will be swift and certain.  The sharpness of the IED's packed with ball-bearings will not hold a candle to the flames of Hell.  Physical death is much too noble of an epilogue for your sorry life, but God's eternity will be the perfect fit!  People may have taken Jehovah out of classrooms and government buildings, but I can assure you, He was right there amidst your evil.  He saw it all, and vengeance will surely be His.  I was founded on Godly standards, so my people and I will put our trust in that same God.  I am America.

     Boston and this nation will recover in time.  My people will grieve their lost loved ones.  My people will grieve their changed lives.  My people will again grieve a sense of "innocence lost".  But know this -- the period of mourning will pass, and life will continue.  My people will not forget, but they will strive toward the future.  They will strive toward a future that is free from the likes of lily-livered heaps of garbage like you.  They will strive toward a future of freedom to pursue their own dreams and their happiness.  They are my people.  We may bend, but we do not break.  I am America.

     So, I must ask you -- was it worth it?  Did you accomplish whatever perverse goal you lay out in your twisted mind?  I hope you enjoy your brief moment of self-accomplishment because I can guarantee you it will be short lived until the next malconent tries to "one-up" you!  I am not worried because I still have confidence that this is the best place on earth.   I am . . . 

America 

P.S.   I AM AMERICA!!!
