This is the new menace of our time. My father’s generation were in the last conventional war to be fought on the soil of Europe, to defeat the Nazis.

«Our generation grew up with the Cold War, that ended with the defeat of totalitarian communism.

«This generation faces a war of a different nature from anything before.»

This terrorism is terrorism waged without limit, without any care for the grief of the innocent and it is terrorism designed to strike at the very heart of our way of life, our democracy, our freedom and the rule of law.»
