From a dream born of
images bleak and grey
Of broken towers in heaps
upon the ground
I saw a mighty bird arise
from such dismay
Not a phoenix from a
burning nest unbound
It was the spirit of America
A great eagle in the sky
Silent was it's voice
A blaze was in it's eye

Terrorism is suppose to generate fear and despair. Bin Laden has been robbed of his victory. His unspeakable crimes have ignited a powerfull resolve of all Americans and hopefully the world. Terrorist must be shown once and for all that their actions will no longer be tolarated. There must be no place for them to hide. Any country or persons who harbor them or support them must be held accountable for their crimes against humanity. I hope he has written his own death warrant.It is time to take out the garbage!
