How can our nation stay united?

"Divide and conquer". That is what I remember about war from Sunday school, public school, and years later college. In the event of 9/11, I can see that the old battle plan for victory is still the same: divide and conquer. Terrorists attacked our great country and at that moment we stood strong and together as ONE nation. But in the aftermath of the attacks, we stand divided. We as a nation are bickering over who gets what, what makes a hero, and what we can do to protect our freedoms. In case you have not notice THE WORLD IS WATCHING! Terrorists are looking for our Achille's heel. Waiting for us to divide and getting ready to plan their next attack to conquer. WE CAN STOP THIS!

What makes our country great is our freedom to disagree, but we should not let our disagreements separate us. We can come together and unite as one. Which meansā?¦.. All Americans, no, make that all PEOPLE who have suffered a loss because of the terrorist's attacks should get the same benefits from the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund. Whether they are Italian-Americans, African-Americans, or even Gay-Americans. The Victim Compensation Fund was set up to help the VICTIMS of these tragedies. Nowhere in the title of the fund does it say "except" or "excluding". We need to unite on all fronts. We must come together as a nation. Or we will let the terrorists win. Taking away our freedom, truth, justice, and our pursuit of happiness. Everything this great country stands for.

I have great faith in this country. Don't let the terrorists win. Don't let them divide our great nation. I believe that Congress will make the right choice. Just in case you forgotā?¦ THE TERRORISTS ARE WATCHING!
