This feature is taken from E.A.9.11, Group 2. See the entire discussion: Your message to the terriorists.

If you could say something to the people who are responsible for 9/11, what would you say?

heddie8383  09:12pm Mar 12, 2002 EST  
I would tell them I am sorry for the way they feel. I would ask them if they are humans or demons. I would tell them that they are the lowest people on this earth and that I hope they rot. I would also tell them that they are yellow bellied chickens, because if they were to fight america in an even battle that they would get stomped. That they should find a hole and crawl in it.

I wouldn't take the position that you did Heddie8383. Rather than verbally attack the terrorists, I would want to understand them.

I would sit down calmly across the table from them, look them in the eyes, and ask them one question, "Why?" Without interruption I would listen to their reasoning. Then, when they are done explaining themselves I would just shake my head and leave.

Calling them chickens or telling them to rot isn't going to prove anything. All I want is to understand the reason why they are willing to strap C-4 to their chest and kill civilians. Of course, there is no logical reason to do that. That is why I'd shake my head as I left.

...punch and pie`

I would tell them to watch their backs cause Uncle Sam is coming for them and they will feel our wrath ... like it or not! They can hide like animals in their holes but we will blow them to Hades!

Like Locke, I too would want to at least learn where they are coming from, even though I don't understand their position.

I wouldn't even want to understand them. That would be like trying to understand Hitler! Just like there is no possible reasoning that can justify the murder of 11,000,000 people because they were different in some way, no possible reasoning can justify the murder of 3,000 people just because they were Americans. It is impossible to be a human being with a soul and half a brain and do things like that. I wouldn't tell the terrorists anything - I would only treat them like the beasts they are!

I think understanding is a key point. The terrorists didn't try to understand us, they just acted upon their anger and suffering. I think we are doing the same now.
