attacks quotes

The deliberate and deadly attacks which were carried out yesterday against our country were more than acts of terror. They were acts of war.

With those attacks, the terrorists and their supporters declared war on the United States. And war is what they got.

The part that always shocked me was the inter-community violence among the chimps: the patrols and the vicious attacks on strangers that lead to death.

There are many people who feel that it is useless and futile to continue talking about peace and non-violence against a government whose only reply is savage attacks on an unarmed and defenseless people.

In the wake of the events of 11 September 2001, it now seems clear that the shock of the attacks was exploited in America.

No matter what cause one defends, it will suffer permanent disgrace if one resorts to blind attacks on crowds of innocent people.
