You're always going to have terrorism.

Terrorism has become the systematic weapon of a war that knows no borders or seldom has a face.

Terrorism is a significant threat to peace and security, prosperity and people.

Increasingly, the state system has been eroding. Terrorists have exploited this weakness by burrowing into the state system in order to attack it.

The threat of terrorism is great and with today's porous borders, someone could bring a biological weapon into our country or sneak a dirty bomb across unmanned portions of our borders.

It's frustrating; terrorism is rare and largely ineffectual, yet we regularly magnify the effects of both their successes and failures by terrorizing ourselves.

Our values and way of life will prevail - terrorism will not.

Terrorism gravely threatens international peace and security, and as a solution, the power and apparent finality of force are seductive.

As long as there are people who are not happy with their lot in life, as long as the United States is perceived to somehow be the cause of this unhappiness, there will be terrorism.

Americans in all places and levels of government have begun to consider the areas where we need to prepare ourselves from future threats, including the latest weapon: bio-terror.
