What does it take to make an Eagle cry?
The tear I shed is not for the pain you have caused my people, nor is it shed for those you have killed. I will not shed a single tear to justify the intent of your terrorist attacks on the nation I represent. I leave the mourning of these events to my people. I am a symbol of pride, nobility, courage, and strength. I am also a symbol of justice, and for this I cry. It is with a painful burden that I once again become the symbol of a nation at war. I cry for what my people must now become. They are righteous in their cause, but I cry for what they must do. Your intent was terror, and you shall have it!
With a tear I pray, "May God have mercy on you, for I fear my people will show you none."
