A total of 1,580 people, the civilian population, suffered as a result of the bloody wave of terrorist acts that swept over Moscow and other towns and villages of our country.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You have 60 countries in the world with a terrorist problem. That's two-thirds of the world. We have this group in Basilan, which is a small island in the far south of the Philippines, and the island itself has a population of - what? - 300,000.
There are many people who live with terrorism every day.
Unfortunately, in war, there are casualties, including among the civilian population.
Some people are more terrorist than others.
At least 23,000 civilians have also died in the Iraqi killing field and the U.S. is stuck in a quagmire.
The suicide bombers who struck London on 7 July 2005 killed 52 innocent people and wounded hundreds more. All of them must live with their memories. And the rest of us will always remember where we were when we heard that London had been hit by the worst terrorist attack in its history.
In the context of September 11, there were so many that lost their lives that - how do you single out one person? There were so many acts of heroism that day from so many people, whether it be firemen and police officers in New York and our agents also.
Since the September 11 attacks, nearly 400 individuals have been arrested by the Justice Department as a result of ongoing investigations into international terrorism. Of that total, over half were convicted as a result of their actions.
Could anything justify the extermination of civilians on such a scale?
Two thousand people a day were being murdered in Vietnam in a terrorist war, an official terrorist war.
