-----Original Message----- From: americans_outraged@yahoo.com Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2001 6:02 PM Subject: $5M Reward for Arrest of Usama Bin Laden Americans and Friends of Freedom Everywhere: Since June of 1999 the U.S. Government has offered a $5,000,000 reward for information the might lead to the arrest and/or conviction of Usama Bin Laden (http://www.fbi.gov/mostwant/topten/fugitives/laden.htm). He has already murdered hundreds of innocent, men, women, and children in violation of the principles of Islam, and in light of the cowardly and horrific events of Tuesday, September 11th, 2001, in the United States which are almost certainly his doing, it is hoped that this bounty will be raised a hundred-fold. On December 7th, 1941, 2,403 people perished as the result a surprise attack on military targets within the United States at Pearl Harbor. We can expect the death toll for today's horrible mass murders to be much higher and there can be no doubt that the crime is much greater. WE ARE NOW IN A STATE OF WAR: The enemy has won the first round by achieving exactly what he wanted: death, injury, destruction, economic loss, disruption, and terror. He vowed that he would make every American a target of his insane and criminal attacks, and he has kept his murderous promise. Now let all Americans -- and the people of all responsible and outraged nations around the world -- join in a worldwide hunt for this rogue, and let this animal and all who have participated in these acts be brought to justice by trial, or, if that is not possible, by bombshell or bullet. Let those who wish to conduct their lives in peace do their part now to end this scourge. Do not think that you can do nothing. If we raise up -- not just as citizens of our countries, but as citizens of the world -- we can restore the peace. Give your support, display the flag, donate blood and money for disaster relief (see http://paydirect.yahoo.com/PD/onePage/onePageRedCrossMoney-drv.pd and http://www.redcross.org/where/where.html), forward this note, contact Congress (http://www.congressmerge.com/onlinedb/congressmerge.html), and let local news media know that we will not forget this Tuesday of Terror, this "new day of infamy" until its perpetrators are brought to full, final and righteous justice. Generations before us did their part to win for us the freedoms we have enjoyed until this morning. Now it is our time to do our part. A Patriotic Gen X-er -------------------------------postscript------------------------------------- While news videos showed people in the West Bank cheering the deaths of thousands of innocent Americans, here is what some of the rest of the world said: U.S. President George W. Bush: "Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward, and freedom will be defended." British Prime Minister Tony Blair: "This mass terrorism is the new evil in our world today. It is perpetrated by fanatics who are utterly indifferent to the sanctity of life and we, the democracies of this world, are going to have to come together and fight it together and eradicate this evil completely from our world." William Hague, Conservative Party Leader (UK): "It is an act of war against civilisation and it will feel in the United States and to people across the world very similar to a declaration of a war as Pearl Harbor was." Irish President Mary McAleese: "It's not just a crime against the American people, it's not just a crime against the American civilisation. It's a crime against the very foundations of all our humanity." French President Jacques Chirac: "It is with enormous distress that France has just learned of the monstrous attacks -- there is no other word for it -- that have just struck the United States of America. In these horrifying circumstances, the entire people of France ... stand by the people of America." Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien: "It is impossible to fully comprehend the evil that would have conjured up such a cowardly and depraved assault upon thousands of innocent people." Russian President Vladimir Putin: "Such an inhuman act must not go unpunished. The entire international community should unite in the struggle against terrorism." U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan: "There can be no doubt that these attacks are deliberate acts of terrorism, carefully planned and coordinated, and as such I condemn them utterly." German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder: "These deeds are a declaration of war against the civilized world." Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi: "These attacks ... require a full- blown fight against terrorism. We know this fight is the way to defend the values that are at the basis of civil life and peace." U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell: "A terrible, terrible tragedy has befallen my nation, but it has befallen all those who believe in democracy." Newsweek Reporter Evan Thomas: "A new day of infamy." (see full story at http://www.msnbc.com/news/627168_asp.htm) Time Reporter Michael Elliott: "America will never be the same." (see http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,174540,00.html) Pope John Paul II: "Commending the victims to almighty God's mercy, I implore his strength upon all involved in rescue efforts and in caring for the survivors." __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
