World Opinion

Authored by Michael Pate on September 12th, 2003 at 12:36 PM

In the two years since Sept. 11, 2001, the view of the United States as a victim of terrorism that deserved the world�s sympathy and support has given way to a widespread vision of America as an imperial power that has defied world opinion through unjustified and unilateral use of military force. - Richard Bernstein

So we can and sit around and watch people die and be really popular with the rest of the world or we can stand our ground against the terrorists and be hated. It doesn’t seem like a touch choice to me.

We will starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against another, drive them from place to place until there is no refuge or no rest. And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation in every region now has a decision to make: Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime. Our nation has been put on notice, we’re not immune from attack. We will take defensive measures against terrorism to protect Americans. - George W. Bush
