A colossal event is upon us, the birth of a New World Order.

After the '30s, we said, "no more Munichs." And it got us in a lot of problems. Then we said, "No more Vietnams." Now if we say, "No more Iraqs," the next one won't be an Iraq. It will be something different. You can't learn lessons.

My point was that removing Saddam should not have been our highest priority. Fighting terrorism should have been our number one concern, followed by the Palestinian peace process.

If you look back at the first Gulf war, the Arabs sent forces, they sent money. So their interests in Iraq are clear, but they're nowhere to be seen now. Why? Because right now, it's dangerous to be seen as supporting the United States.

Simply killing everyone who is already a terrorist today won't solve the problem.

We must find out where the roots of terrorism lie.

Perhaps the most troubling area in the world goes from the Balkans through the Middle East and in Central Asia.
