Mr. Chairman, on September 11, we were attacked by terrorists who took advantage of weaknesses in our border security. After infiltrating our country, the terrorists were able to conceal their real identities, and thereby plot their attacks without fear of being apprehended.

Nonetheless, to the extent that terrorists have come into our country or suspected or known terrorists have entered our country across a border, it's been across the Canadian border. There are real issues there.

For a generation, terrorists learned they could make war on free nations without fear of war in return. On September 12, the terrorists got war in return.

To ensure him peace
He does not fevour terrorism,
Nor support terrorists either.
However, he is not to betray them
Who represent his religion.
He himself is not a terrorist
But terrorists are of his religion.
He is not against any faith
But feel secure in his faith.
He will fear to give clues
And prefer being neutral.
Terrorists have him as their shield
And render the world helpless.
.
If he is harassed or appeased
To nab the hiding terrorists
Is the dilemma the world is in.
It should not be too late for it.
He should join hands in public
And discourage the terrorists
And help the world retain its peace.
Yes, he must ensure himself peace.

Who Sowed Hate Seeds?
streets running with hate
like a raw pulsating cancer
will not go away without
identification of symptoms
long term treatment programs
this age exhibits clear failure
to address age old problems
which need probing research
clarification for understanding
who dares promote hate profit
who dares declare ambiguous
hate generating war on terrorism
to brand entire cultures a religion
guilty without trial by implication
who mindless will hate condone it
who dares resurrect new Spanish
Inquisition style absolute powers
political disguise strip civic rights
title this deception bill Homeland
Security then attack neutral country
from which no guilt terrorists came
let us review terrorist home origins
from where were murder nineteen
al-Qaeda hijackers originally born?
the 19 al-Qaeda hijacker terrorists
not the Taliban from Afghanistan
originated from Saudi Arabia(fifteen)
United Arab Emirates (two)
Lebanon (one) and Egypt (one)
no hijackers from Afghanistan?
identities of all alleged hijackers
confirmed 2 hours post 9/11 attacks
Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates,
Lebanon, Egypt, countries never US
attacked Bush deliberately attacked

Reason Why President George Attacked Afghanistan
Why attack? Afghanistan
government never had
plans to attack the US.
Bush Administration
claims Taliban directly helped
or assisted al-Qaeda.
A claim never proven.
Then where were the nineteen
al-Qaeda hijackers born?
The 2004 report of the 9/11
Commission,
concluded the September 11
attacks “were carried
out by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists
who each assumed
the role of hijacker
of the aircraft they boarded
on 9/11. The attacks were
planned and organized
by numerous other members
of al-Qaeda, as well as
the lead member
and hijacker-pilot in each group.”
Not the Taliban George.
Hijackers born in Afghanistan
then, or Mr Bush
would not have attacked?
The 2004 report of the 9/11
Commission
checked nationalities aliases
revealed all the alleged
hijackers were from
“Saudi Arabia (fifteen
hijackers) , United Arab
Emirates (two hijackers) ,
Lebanon (one hijacker)
and Egypt (one hijacker) .”
But but but Bush
already knew none of the
suspected hijackers
were from Afghanistan.
The “identities of the alleged
hijackers were determined
'about two hours after
the 9/11 attacks' by the
US customs service
who 'were able to do that
[after] they [had obtained]
access to the flight manifests
of those aircrafts'
declared Edward Alden.
The hijackers came
from Saudi Arabia, United
Arab Emirates, Lebanon
and Egypt, countries never
attacked. Bush deliberately
attacked an innocent
country, another example
of Bush policy
beating around the wrong bush.
Oh and 'weapons of mass destruction'
reason for attacking killing Iraqis in Iraq
another bush fairy tale never found.

Why Fight Terrorism?
No nation can try to be both
A haven to terrorists and
A heaven to its citizens!
Nations mustn’t use the terrorists
To fight a proxy war for them
With neighbors over all disputes!
‘Violence begets violence! ’ ’Tis told.
Mere wars can’t usher peace on earth;
Love of brethren must rule all hearts!
The terrorists whom you support
Could ruin your own country too!
Root out terrorism in truth!
Terrorists are mere insane men!
They’re distraught, dissatisfied ones,
Who kill ruthlessly and get killed!
The bomb-culture and abductions
Must be fought relentlessly to
Free the world for peaceful men!
Unite against the terrorists!
Religion shouldn’t slacken your move;
The right to life belongs to all!
All terrorists are keen to kill,
And are willing to die as well!
‘Make world free of terrorism! ’

On September 11, 2001, we thought we were going to be attacked many, many times between then and now. We haven't been. I believe we had a president who made the right decision at the right time... to put us on offense against terrorists.

Sonnet-No Nation Is Free
When no one knows the where and when and how
Of Terrorist's strike anywhere on earth,
Their 'modus operandi' you can't know,
Neither the problem's nature or its girth!
When war is on an enemy unknown,
Who operates in ways you can't predict;
Who makes a Super-nation too a clown!
And nations all don't fully interdict.
When nation lives in fear of more attacks,
From militants and terrorists some way;
And lasting solutions also, it lacks,
How can you celebrate 'REPUBLIC-DAY'?
Alas! No nation is really free,
Till terrorists are wiped out totally!

Military visit to a rural village (rondine)
Harbouring terrorists, at the dead of night
we found the right dilapidated village,
terrorists were afraid to further war wage,
the stars, the yellow moon shone very bright,
and in armoured cars we were geared to fight,
all the villagers were scared, had no courage;
harbouring terrorists
I had no great sympathy with their plight,
as to farmers and women they did damage
were planting landmines at almost any age,
huddled together the were a sore sight,
harbouring terrorists.

Visions of Terrorists Dance in My Head
We are Americans went nuke in 41
We are Americans we have the biggest gun
We now fight a war of attrition
We underestimate all our competition
We fight to maintain our hegemonious crime
We really don't care if we get there in time
We build a new weapon that kills before threat
We send in a soldier who isn't dead yet
We send in a soldier who comes back to life
We send home an alien to impregnate his wife
Visions of Terrorists soon walking our streets
Visions of Terrorists soon buying our meats
Visions of Terrorists dance in my head
Clinton and Rushdie will leave us for dead
Visions of Terrorists torture my brain
America, the collective, is going insane
