Terrorism tramples upon any rights and freedoms and generates fear and hatred; it is an obstacle to efforts at improving our world.
Terrorism is a psychological warfare. Terrorists try to manipulate us and change our behavior by creating fear, uncertainty, and division in society.

But especially in terms of international perception.
We cannot solve the problem of terrorism by asserting our will on the world.
Terrorism is a significant threat to peace and security, prosperity and people.
Terrorism needs to be fought against and certainly delegitimized or attacked, but some of the underlying grievances that might in fact lead individuals astray to terrorism cannot be ignored.
The uncertainty of the danger belongs to the essence of terrorism.
The primary goal of the War on Terror is to prevent an attack from happening.
Terrorism gravely threatens international peace and security, and as a solution, the power and apparent finality of force are seductive.
The war against terrorism is terrorism.
