Paragraph Assignment

Usama bin Laden and his nameless flock of mislead martyrs and men are, essentially, a (cursed) household name these days, for reason we are all undoubtedly familiar with. In this winded dispatch delivered by an old man, we can read as America and her people, "the [terrorist's] enemy", is targeted, and cited as a force of evil - the home of the "allies of Satan" and the "brothers of the Devil" - and listen in as her assailants' receive a pep talk before the big "battle" between themselves and a couple thousand unarmed New Yorkers of all ages and backgrounds. Hours later, the face of America's fear would be distorted and reformed, this time resembling a face of a middle-aged Arabian man, with a beard and a turban. Not a specific person, not even bin Laden, but a profile. A profile, just like the "devil-worshipping" one they gave Westerners. In these days and times, we as Americans should remind ourselves not to behave like a bunch of hate-filled radicals, and never direct our anger towards our own people, or a moral people who are simply different from ourselves. Evil has no face, no flag, no country, and we should never forget that, or we will be no better than those who took innocent lives on the day of 9 11.
