The real damage from terrorist attacks doesn't come from the explosion. The real damage is done after the explosion, by the victims, who repeatedly and determinedly attack themselves, giving over reason in favor of terror. Every London cop who stops someone from taking a picture of a public building, every TSA agent who takes away your kid's toothpaste, every NSA spook who wiretaps your email, does the terrorist's job for him. Terrorism is about magnifying one mediagenic act of violence into one hundred billion acts of terrorized authoritarian idiocy.

We want to look at how we would respond because, as hard as we work to prevent terrorist attacks here North America, if we have a catastrophic terrorist attack, it is the military that is going to have to go in at the request of civilian authorities.

Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve. referring to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon

Terrorism: War Of Today
TERRORISM, WA OF TODAY
mELVIN bANGOLLAY
This world we lived outlived many war
The war against nation's tyranny
Racial vindication for the weak country
Has made volumes of war history
Of terrorism against all humanity.
Today the war against terrorism
Still waging as a way of showing idealism
By some groups of people with dynamism
To take the lives of innocent victims
By the power of their goons extremism.
Everybody should be aware today
That terrorist knows no limit or boundary
To put the lives of many at their mercy
In their desire to see death everyday
As their joy and ultimate trophy of victory.
We should not let this be an act of patriotism
For the terrorist believes in this idealism
That to take the lives of Christians and Muslims
Is an act of greatness and noble living
For Allah or the Father God dislike this offering.
Along with all Poets in every land or country
I fervently appear to wage war against terror's fury;
I strongly believed that through our pen today
We can heal the wounds of war and tyranny
And light terrorist minds to stop their advocacy.

London's Heart
(Terrorist attack Friday 7th July 2005)
London's heart lies bleeding
Her citizens are grieving
And again she took the blows
Standing firm with spirit unbroken.
Londoners suffered the blitz
Nazi Doodlebugs and V2 rockets
The IRA terrorist bombers
Survived united not broken.
Terror will not crush her proud heart
She will never surrender to infamy
Standing for Freedom and Democracy
Against those who would dominate the world.

What Is A Terrorist Sarah Palin?
No a terrorist is “somebody who uses violence,
especially bombing, kidnapping, and assassination,
to intimidate others, often for political purposes”.
Julian prints truth, the public, has a right to know?
From proven sources, like journalists, newspapers.
Unlike American intelligence community accurately.
The meaning of terrorism is defined in a dictionary.
As reportedly once a journalist should not Sarah know?

The Damage Is Done
Is there a reason
For things that you say?
The way youre treating me
All the games I wont play
Well its too late, no longer one
Dont want you, the damage is done
Will you miss me
When I leave you behind?
Will you tell your friends
I treated you unkind?
Well its over now, and Im on the run
I dont want you, the damage is done
There have been rumors
That my sense of humor is lacking in some ways
To me thats no reason, its tantamount to treason
See what the judge has to say
You need to find someone half as blind
As I am to your games
And maybe youll find out what its all about
And it can drive you insane
Ooh the damage is done
And now I feel its too late
The damage is done
Its over
Now Im on the run
And baby you and I know
The damage is done
I feel its too late
The damage is done

The Poor Children Of Iraq
They've never harmed anybody so why are they under attack
Born in the wrong Land at the wrong time the poor children of Iraq
For the crimes of other people why must they be made to pay
They are the innocent victims and why do it have to be this way?
Poor children are made to suffer pawns of a deadly war game
Left to live with horrific injuries this is to all of our shame
They have been robbed of a future war is so very unfair
Damage done to the minds of children in war zones time will not even repair,
Innocent Iraqi war children they deserve better than this
Why deprive them of a future rob them of any chance of happiness
Mothers weep for their dead and injured children war is a terrible thing
Though ballads of famous war victories the balladeers well may sing
But who will sing of the innocent war victims of every bombing and terrorist attack
Like the poor children living in war zones the innocent kids of Iraq.

but allah has a surprize for you in your so called after life
that you will be just dead, you dont get to live another life
so go ahead kill all of us if you must

Remember Nine Eleven
they came like thieves in the night
Hijacked the planes while in flight
2974 people died that day
And for their souls we still pray.
Ground zero will live in the minds of man
And the world is taking a stand.
These terrorist acts must come to an end
And more troops the nations will send.
The young minds that they enslaved
Will come out of their caves
They will see the treachery
And will long to be free.
Why is it that you fear freedom so?
Is it because in your hearts you know
That you and your followers
Will have no place to go.
Communism and dictatorships
Are falling to the ground
Every where you look there’s love to be found.
Mothers are not giving up their children
To commit suicide, freedom is
The key on which they rely.
9/11 was the breaking point
For all the world to see
This is the reason it’s now world history.
“ to freedom” the world is now
Opening up their eyes, this we can not deny.
The world is getting smaller, and there’s
No place to hide.
No matter where you go, you know we will find.
People are closing in on all your terrorist acts.
Look around you, you know that’s a fact.
So to al- Qaeda and all the other terrorists factions
The world is now counter acting.
The bell of freedom will ring through out each nation
We will stop all your devastation.
