Coalition in quotes
Here is what world leaders have said about the anti-terrorism coalition:
"If you love freedom, you must join with us."
"There has to be a response to bring
those terrorists who committed this attack to account and we will
play our full part."
"One more time, the fact proved to be true that terrorism
does not recognize borders. This is the
challenge to the civilized community that needs to be
forcefully confronted."
Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder
"We are faced with a conflict of a completely new nature, a conflict which is attempting to destroy human rights, freedom, the dignity of
man. I believe that everything must be done to protect and
safeguard these values of civilization, therefore we are
naturally prepared to work in complete solidarity with the
United States and do everything which is necessary in
consultation with them to reach this target which is the
elimination of terrorism."
"It's not a war. You can't just use words like that. There
needs to be a 'mobilization' against terrorism."
"The kingdom of Saudi Arabia will stand by the
US and support it and cooperate with it in combating
terrorism wherever it is and fight it in all its forms."
"The fight against terror is an international struggle of the free world against the forces of darkness, who seek to destroy our liberty and our way of life. I believe that together we can defeat these forces of evil."
"We regard terrorism as an evil that threatens the world community. I wish to assure President Bush of our unstinted co-operation in the fight against terrorism."
"We shouldn't jump to conclusions. My advise to the US is not to attack a country because of some small organisation. You have to find out who did it, but not punish innocent people." |
