Written in late 2001 in response to the attacks on the Twin Towers, F. Myre's open letter analyzes with excessive boldness but also sarcastic humor the decline of Western societies at the dawn of the 21st century, thus proposing a new interpretation of the phenomenon of Islamic terrorism.

For Myre, the attacks against the West, beyond being disgraceful, become tragically comic from the moment that the Westerners themselves systematically destroy the targets of the terrorists.

With its honest as well as pointed directness, this letter brings back to the forefront simple and understandable public discourse, as well as critical humor - two virtues that tend to be completely extinguished.
