JUSTICE WILL BE DONE
(Mr. ISSA asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, I woke up this morning, after not getting much
sleep last night, with a broken heart and a tremendous feeling of
sadness and anger. There are still so many questions unanswered. When
we see these horrible events, feel these tremendous feelings and listen
to these unspeakable stories, we must remember that we are Americans.
Throughout history, Americans have shown to the world what freedom is.
And, more importantly, we have shown what freedom costs. Yesterday we
once again paid that cost.
While we share this planet with evil, we will not let evil triumph.
To the victims and to the friends and families of those who have
perished, I want you to know that your country, your American family,
is praying for you and shares this burden with you. But to those
responsible for these unspeakable horrors our country has endured, I
say to you: You should not sleep another night with peace. You should
not eat another meal in comfort. You must look over your shoulder
because we will find you. We will find you and justice will be done.
