Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today on a very solemn occasion. Today is Yom Hashoah, the Day of Remembrance. This is the day that we recognize and remember those 6-million-plus individuals, innocent men, women and children who lost their lives in the unspeakable horror of the Holocaust, an evil associated with that era the likes of which the world had never seen. But, Mr. Speaker, we are here tonight once again, this evil has reared its ugly head. On 9-11, as my colleague from New York just indicated, this evil and the individuals behind the terrorist attack stopped at nothing to kill innocent men, women and children on the streets of New York, in the World Trade Center, and here in the Washington area at the Pentagon. Mr. Speaker, it is that same evil, that same hatred that is perpetrating the violence and committing the terrorist attacks in Israel throughout that tiny country. I applaud President Bush and his administration for drawing the appropriate moral structure and guidelines that we must follow as this country now engages in the fight for our freedom abroad. As we know, President Bush has outlined this as a case of good against evil.”
