Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward.
Freedom will be defended!
--President George W. Bush, September 11, 2001
The best defense against terrorism is a strong offensive against terrorists.
That work continues.
--President George W. Bush, 10/13/2001
These acts shattered steel, but they cannot dent the steel of America's resolve.
--President George W. Bush
America is not like a blanket -- one piece of unbroken cloth,
the same color, the same texture, the same size.
America is more like a quilt -- many patches, many pieces,
many colors, many sizes, all woven and held together by a common thread.
--Henry M. Jackson
We must not descend to the level of those who perpetrated
Tuesday's violence by targeting individuals based on their race,
their religion, or their national origin. Such reports of violence
and threats are in direct opposition to the very principles and
laws of the United States and will not be tolerated.
--John Ashcroft, Attorney General
Hey Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin' her fist
And the eagle will fly
Man, it's gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin' her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you

No just cause can be advanced by terrorism.
--Koffi Anan
If the culprits are Muslim, they have twisted the teachings of Islam.
Whoever performed, or is behind, the terrorist attacks in the
United States of America does not represent Islam.
God is not behind assassins.
--Muhammad Ali
