Yesterday, September Eleventh, Two Thousand and One...

It's a fact now, and it's tragic. I would like, at the present time, to offer my condolences to the victims, the families of the victims, the American people, and any other peoples harmed as a result of acts of barbarism. Amongst the tragedies lived yesterday and today, perhaps one of the saddest things is that it takes this event to realise that these things can happen, and that on smaller scales, they happen every day. We must learn, the world and the United States, that we shouldn't tolerate these sorts of events. Every country has done horrible deeds, including Canada, including the United States, including each and every state of the European union. We, the democracies, the free world, should lead the world through example, through political pressure, social pressure, economic pressure, and in extreme times, military pressure. We, all the nations of this planet, have done evil and let us hope that we have learned to stop. We must prove to those who have done and desire to continue evil, to those who will counter perhaps unjust policies with terror against civilians, against any human life, that their evil will not be tolerated. Perhaps we would all like to commit evil now, in response to these recent events. But let's not make mistakes, let's not do anything which we might regret, let's not blame anyone unless it is a certainty of the suspect's culpability.

But most importantly let us hope that we have learned something yesterday that we will remember; let us hope that this never again happens.
