Letter: Vision of bliss for terrorists was mistaken

Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2001 | 9:51 a.m.

In regard to the terrorists who caused the horrific destruction of property and life in New York in the belief that they were assured instant entry into Paradise:

I would have enjoyed their consternation (defined: sudden alarming amazement or dread that results in utter confusion) upon arriving at their final destination and being handed coal shovels and coal hods with which to fuel the eternal fires of hell rather than the bliss of Paradise.

A most deserving and final ending to their visions of eternal bliss.
