I know that New York City remains the highest density urban area in the country and by far dedicates more of its own funds to fighting terrorism than any other municipality.

Contrary to what many people believe, terrorism is actually a very expensive business.

Like crime, terrorism is a fact of life. I grew up in Israel, where every unattended bag was a suspected bomb; when my family moved for a few years, it was to London in the early years of 'the Troubles.'

It is a struggle for the minds of the people... No cause justifies recourse to terrorism.

As strong as the United States is, we can't deal with terrorism alone.

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

There are many people who live with terrorism every day.

All together, we know for many years that terror is the most dangerous thing for local, regional and international stability.

Well, one thing's very clear, that terrorism isn't just a threat which is external to Western countries. It's not simply a foreign menace that comes from overseas to strike our cities. It can and it does, as we now know, come from within our own countries and from inside our own populations.

Terrorism can go anywhere where there is not strong government, or government that cannot control its hinterlands.
