It is not the first time we have dedicated our editorial to the horrible act of massive assassination perpetrated against our country on September 11, 2001 and questioned ourselves, if that was an act of war, who was our enemy?
Soon thereafter, news started to unveil and we learned that the perpetrators were a group affiliated with the terrorist organization al-Qaeda, who managed to enter this country, and from within, hijack four planes full of innocent passengers and crash them against selected objectives.
Nineteen terrorists were involved in this heinous deed, none of them survived, but there are many more ready to attack again, if we allow them. After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, there have been about a dozen major attacks by al-Qaeda terrorists in other parts of the world. Countries like Spain and England, just to mention two, had felt their thud.
In some others, they have tried to attack but failed. If they failed it is not for lack of organization and willingness on their part or just because we are lucky; no, it is because authorities are better prepared to combat them. Their main objective is to destroy everything and everybody that does not agree with their fanatic beliefs.
We should remain united and vigilant with the rest of the world, regardless of religion or political parties, against these extreme viewpoints. We have the right to live in peace and we should do whatever it takes to earn it. It does not matter at what price!
