Terror: an analysis

      back to Foreign policy

"Terrorism is the tactic of demanding the impossible, and demanding it at gunpoint."
Christopher Hitchen

"The terrible thing about terrorism is that ultimately it destroys those who practise it. Slowly but surely, as they try to extinguish life in others, the light within them dies."
Terry Waite

"The big threat to America is the way we react to terrorism by throwing away what everybody values about our country--a commitment to human rights. America is a great nation because we are a good nation. When we stop being a good nation, we stop being great."
Bobby Kenny
