“I suppose I should have my say about the terrorist attacks (9/11). I don't suppose it'll be a popular point of view, but they need to be put into some sort of perspective. They were a horrible tragedy, but also what happened in New York and Washington is the same thing that England and America did to Berlin every day for three years during WW2 - and Germany did the same thing to England. But most Americans don't think about that. They think everything starts and finishes with America.”

It is the first time this has ever happened to America, so you would expect them to overreact a bit.”
“One terrorist attack or two terrorist attacks are not going to sway them.”
Raanan Gissin
“So I see the terrorist attacks as acknowledgement on the terrorists' part that this is a center of gravity [in the war on terror] and that they're losing.”
Marine GenPeter Pace
“We didn't do anything to provoke the attack of 9/11. We were attacked by the terrorists, and we've responded forcefully and aggressively.”
Dick Cheney
“In spite of numerous successful hunts for terrorists, the terrorist threat situation has eased only superficially. The bomb attacks in Madrid and London are clear evidence that Europe is no longer just a recruitment and financing area but has become a target of Islamic terrorism.”
Ernst Uhrlau
“Just as we did for our fellow countrymen in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on September 11th, ... I encourage everyone in this great nation to roll up their sleeves and contribute as best you can to help our brothers and sisters along the Gulf Coast. It is in times like these that we as Americans have the opportunity to show the world one of the things that makes our country great...our compassion.”
Buddy Jewell
