I ask you, what can we do to ensure the evil perpetrated upon our citizens does not have it’s intended effect? What can we do to encourage a swift recovery from this attack?
Certainly, we must provide aid in whatever we can in the immediate future to those who need it most, the direct victims of these travesties. However, the repercussions from these attacks will last long after the wounded have been treated, and our mourned dead buried. What can we do in the aftermath?
This attack was designed to damage our military, and our economy. As average citizens, there is not much we can do individually for the military. However, we can bolster the economy to ensure these bastards do not achieve any satisfaction. This is the strike back that is desparately needed, to show these cowards that America can withstand anything they throw at us.
I encourage you all, once our primary responsibility has been fulfilled and our people have been provided for as best as is possible, to invest in the American economy as much you can. Show the would-be architects of the failure of America that they can not for long impede us or drag us down. As President Bush fights back with military action, let us, the people of these United States, fight back with economic action.
These is my humble opinion, and I welcome yours.
