When it comes to terrorism, governments seem to suffer from a collective amnesia. All of our historical experience tells us that there can be no purely military solution to a political problem, and yet every time we confront a new terrorist group, we begin by insisting we will never talk to them.

It is not enough to tackle the mechanics of terror organizations. We must also tackle the situations that create terrorists. We desperately need to address the frustration, the loss and the despair that drive some to these actions.

Today, we talk a lot about terrorism, but we rarely talk about state terrorism.

It's never right to fight terror with terror.

Terrorism will spill over if you don't speak up.

Warfare against civilians must never be answered in kind. Terror must never be answered with terror.

Global terror does not respect national boundaries.

No one can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.

The United States cannot live with terror.

I call on the Palestinian people to elect new leaders - leaders not compromised by terror.
