Supergirl's Reply to the President

The President had this to say about the events from the July 4th parade, but I would like to reply to specific points he made.

First: "Several lives were lost. An air strike was ordered [into] Metropolis in order to secure American citizens safety from alien, criminal and meta human threats."

Safety from WHAT aliens? As far as I saw, the only aliens on the scene were my cousin and myself. I consider the president's words offensive and inciting hatred against Superman and myself. Although he can say such things without fear of retaliation from Kryptonians, that doesn't make it right.

Second: "Those with special abilities should do like Captain Atom, Wonderwoman, and Wondergirl.. and be government processed. Vigilante heroes although welcomed for their efforts, should register themselves with Meta Human affairs."

So by registering with the government, these "meta human threats" suddenly become ok? As we saw at that event, when the U.S. government called a bomb strike down on it's own city, threatening the lives of it's own people, our own government is no more respectable than the criminal elements they claim to be fighting.

Please understand, I am NOT disrespecting heroes such as Captain Atom, Wonder Woman, or Wonder Girl. All of them are heroes, regardless of government registration or not. But there were other heroes at the parade:

The woman on the left took on Knockout, one of the deadliest villains in Metropolis. I don't know who this woman is, but I do wish to compliment her on her efforts. From what I understand, the "woman in black" may have prevented the theft of some top secret government technology. Yet I doubt she is "registered", since I don't even know her name.

Mr. President, being a vigilante doesn't necessarily make someone evil or wrong, or even dangerous to the public. You are letting fear direct your words, and by extension stoking the flames of hatred against meta humans who have nothing but the best of intentions towards you and the United States. While it was meta human criminals who did threaten the public during that event, it was also meta human AND aliens who protected the public and SAVED LIVES. That fact should not be forgotten in the discussion of what happened that day.
