Dear Editor (Queens Chronicle):The specter of nightmare is the sight of the Twin Towers engulfed in thick black poisonous smoke, collapsing before our uncomprehending eyes, still deeply etched in our collective memories, when without any warning the cowardly terrorists attacked us on that ill-fated date, Sept. 11, nine years ago.
The dastardly attacks of 9/11 shockingly revealed the diseased mentality of the terrorists, whose savage and diabolical scheme to deliver a devastating knockout blow benumbs this reader.
Collectively, our nation’s psyche has been badly traumatized, not to mention the far-reaching ramifications on our political and socio-economic infrastructure.
The faceless terrorists are shadowy figures who lurk in the lunatic fringes of the Third World. Their moral depravity can never be fathomed by applying Judeo-Christian moral standards.
The terrorists come from a third world subculture where hatred for the Jews and Americans has been simmering and festering in the murky depths of moral turpitude.
We here do not want revenge; we seek justice. It will be a long, arduous war with no clearly defined boundaries. But eventually, we will be victorious. We shall prevail. Two hundred and thirty-four years of liberty decrees our freedom.
But we can never take our freedom for granted. Our country will remain the land of the free if our nation remains the home of the brave.

That was well said.
AMEN
I'll to be as concise as possible.
Muslims aren't flying planes into our skyscrappers because they hate freedom...
They are flying planes and committing acts of terrorism because of American/Israeli foriegn policy, military occupation of Palestine. The dominance of American politics by Zionists (not specifically Jews).
Saudi Arabia is the most fervent muslim country in the world and it's where 9 out of the 14 bombers came from on 9/11. The family runned oil business of Saudi Arabia is Americas ally and customer/oil purchaser.
They hate our freedom.... Get real.
NEVER FORGET 9/11. NEVER forget USS Liberty.
Bless the souls of the BRAVE and altruistic fire figthers who lost their lives.
Our country will remain the land of the free if our nation remains the home of the brave.
Brilliant. Bravo.
The dominance of American politics by Zionists (not specifically Jews).
You do realize by definition Zionist = Jewish, don't you? No, of course you don't. I suggest you do some research or at least a bit of self-education before you throw around ideologies you quite obviously know nothing about. Judging by the rest of your blathering, it's clear you're not very well-educated anyway.
"You do realize by definition Zionist = Jewish, don't you?"
Actually, no it doesn't.
Zionism is a political movement. Judaism is a religion.
Why is the Israeli flag prominently displayed in many synagogues?
From the Jewish Virtual Library:
Zionism, the national movement for the return of the Jewish people to their homeland and the resumption of Jewish sovereignty in the Land of Israel, advocated, from its inception, tangible as well as spiritual aims. Jews of all persuasions, left and right, religious and secular, joined to form the Zionist movement and worked together toward these goals. Disagreements led to rifts, but ultimately, the common goal of a Jewish state in its ancient homeland was attained. The term “Zionism” was coined in 1890 by Nathan Birnbaum.

So, yes, Crappy, to be a Zionist is to be Jewish.
But to be a Jew is not to be a Zionist.
HaiSun Yun's letter does not identify the terrorists, as if they continue to be "faceless". It is terrorism inspired by Islam, and al Qaeda, after nine years, has not only not been suppressed by Muslim countries, but sheltered and supported in Pakistan, Iran, Somalia, and elsewhere.
Why do they hate us?
Because we are not Muslims. It's that simple.
But to be a Jew is not to be a Zionist.
Correct. I never said Jew = Zionist. I said Zionist = Jewish.
Dream on. If you pay attention to what Sarah Palin and a bunch of Christian fanatics are saying, you'll see that they are more Zionist than most Jews in order to fulfill what they see as biblical prophesies.
Slam Islam!
Whatever happened to those peaceful Mohamedans?
Now we've got upitty Muslims.
did you know that one must go through metal detectors in order to enter the Holocaust Museum at the Battery.
the street in front is named for Mr.Safra ,the billionaire
banker ,who died during the fire from smoke inhalation in his bathroom,in Monaco.
