Political Quotes

“yesterday America was hit by an unspeakable tragedy--an act of unconscionable horror. I am uncomprehending, and I am saddened beyond depths I could have imagined, at the terrorist attacks that have been launched against the United States. My heart goes out to the families of all those who have been lost--airline passengers and crew, workers in office buildings, military personnel, rescue workers--too numerous to even estimate at this point. Yesterday, Americans from coast to coast and around the world stopped what they were doing and experienced shock, insecurity, and grief. Our country has not felt such horror or fear in its history. Cities, suburbs, and rural towns became ``still'' as news spread of the events unfolding in New York City, Washington, DC, and western Pennsylvania. As we relive yesterday's events, we will continue to be in shock. We will search for information about friends, family, and professional colleagues affected by this vicious attack. However, as we move beyond the shock, we must remain assured that America's institutions and government remain fully intact. Our democracy is stronger than a band of suicidal terrorists. We will survive this deplorable attack. In fact, we will grow stronger. While this attack has destroyed lives and infrastructure, it has not destroyed our foundation as a country. To the perpetrators of this act, I would state that you have not destroyed the spirit of America.…”
