In other words, you want to play semantic games.
I think my meaning is clear. You don't need to twist it.
As for your final graph. If we stop pursuing power and money and individual
rights and freedom (especially the latter three of that list, which are
vitally important pursuits), then the terrorists have won. Power under pins
the ability to pursue the virtues of money (i.e., capitalism (economic
freedom), the most important and only righteous economic system), individual
rights (which are God-given) and freedom (also God-given) -- without these
three things, life is not worth living.

It was not a case of my "missing the point". It was more a case of looking
at the truth and seeing it for what it really is. I was once taught the
difference between truth and honesty. The truth might be "that I went to the
bank" however the honesty would also tell you "that while I was there I
robbed it" When you use a diluted analogy of a situation substituting sugar
for arms the context of meaning changes entirely.

It is a time where as people of the world we can stand up and be accountable
for what we have let happen for so long. The pursuit of power and money and
individual rights and freedom at the expense of others has got to stop.
Perhaps we can think about the freaky hippies of the sixties/seventies with
their mantra of "love and compassion". Hey wait a minute are these not the
same people who have the power and our now running the world. How quickly we
become corrupted.
