Leaders Must See Reality As It Is,

When I Say That Terrorism Is War Against Civilization, I May Be Met By The Objection That Terrorists Are Often Idealists Pursuing Worthy Ultimate Aims -- National Or Regional Independence, And So Forth. I Do Not Accept This Argument. I Cannot Agree That A Terrorist Can Ever Be An Idealist, Or That The Objects Sought Can Ever Justify Terrorism. The Impact Of Terrorism, Not Merely On Individual Nations, But On Humanity As A Whole, Is Intrinsically Evil, Necessarily Evil And Wholly Evil.

The Rules Of Engagement Have Become So Rigid That Governments Often Straightjacket Themselves In The Face Of Unambiguous Aggression.

I Want To Tell You That Israel Is A Democracy And Every Citizen Is Automatically Registered To Vote. There's A Commitment In Our Declaration Of Independence, Guaranteed Under Israel's Law, That All Our Citizens, Arab And Jews, Alike, Have The Right To Vote.

So I Think We Should Stay Focused On The Real Problem In The Middle East. It's Not Israel. It's These Dictatorships That Are Developing Nuclear Weapons With The Specific Goal Of Wiping Israel Away.

I Don't Know Of Any Army That Does More Than An Israeli Army Does To Avoid Civilian Casualties. But Incidental And Unintended Casualties Accompany Every War.
