On September 11 last year international terrorism entered a new dimension.

Bin Laden, who was in his country, attacked and damaged our Pentagon, and killed our soldiers right out here at the Pentagon. But his pentagon no longer exists. It is rubble.

The World Trade Center was the target for the world, and they hit the target.

The attacks of September 11, 2001, were spectacular, riveting, grim, costly and searing. The shock that they caused reverberated throughout the world.

9/11 was basically caused by box cutters, and that changed the world.

No one should be surprised when Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda detonate a weapon of mass destruction in the United States. I don't believe in inevitability. But I think it's pretty close to being inevitable.

I absolutely believe that another 9/11 is possible.

Osama bin Laden's own words stated he has a war against the United States. He declared that American civilians should be considered as combatants.

Before 9/11, absolutely, there were concerns about terrorism; but the world fundamentally changed.
