An important part of the Presidents speech
Speaking about terrorists striking us.
"Should enemies strike our country, they would be attempting to shift our attention with panic and weaken our morale with fear. In this, they would fail. No act of theirs can alter the course or shake the resolve of this country. We are a peaceful people -- yet we're not a fragile people, and we will not be intimidated by thugs and killers. If our enemies dare to strike us, they and all who have aided them, will face fearful consequences."
This is basically a reiteration of the general declaration of war against terrorists post 9/11 when nations were warned that if they harbored, or gave aide to terrorists, they too would be considered a terrorist nation.
"If our enemies dare to strike us, they and all who have aided them, will face fearful consequences."
Nations of the world that have terrorists orgs within their borders would be advised to rid themselves of said orgs, or they too will be put in the position that Iraq now faces. The administration has stated that the war on terrorism may last as long as ten years, others have said as long as 20-30 years.
