Found on the 'net: Date: 9/11/2001 An open letter to a terrorist: Well, you hit the World Trade Center, but you missed America. You hit the Pentagon, but you missed America. You used helpless American bodies, to take out other American bodies, but (...) (23 years ago, 13-Sep-01, to lugnet.general)

(...) Calm down, please. Nobody is trying to cast England as a bully. The War of 1812 ended 200 years ago, and there's nobody alive today who harbors any resentment or ill feelings about it. For that matter, there really wasn't a whole lot of (...) (23 years ago, 13-Sep-01, to lugnet.general)
