You Will Never Defeat Us

The attacks on 9/11 destroyed so much that can never be recovered – and yet life goes on.
And that is the ultimate message of 9/11 – for us, and to the men who would fly planes with terrified children into skyscrapers, who carry bombs in rucksacks on to Tube trains, the fanatics who would happily dance on our graves.
You can hate us.
You can bomb us.
You can destroy our proudest buildings, and slaughter our loved ones, and murder our brightest and our best.
But hear this – you will never defeat us.
