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

Europeans are familiar with terrorism and violence. We have not experienced a true conflict on our soil in a hundred years, and especially not one that involved 3,000 dead.

Since the days of Peter the Great, Russians have been maybe Europeans who didn't share in the enlightenment and the reformation, or are they Mongol Asians with the European veneer. And they've gone back and forth.

We believe we are creating the beginning of a new world order coming out of the collapse of the US-Soviet antagonisms.

The Europeans must finally understand the incredible shock triggered by the attacks of September 11.

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

You know, different people are going to react different ways. And I don't think we should be intolerable because people do things a little differently.
