In the final analysis, terror is also another proof of the fact that the superpower is not really a superpower. It was vulnerable.

The idea that you surrender your identity when you relinquish national powers is unhelpful. No, indeed, precisely the opposite is the case: if done in an intelligent way, you attain the sovereignty to better solve national problems in cooperation with others.

In the first instance, therefore, global terrorism created a kind of global community sharing a common fate, something we had previously considered impossible.

You cannot make peace with terrorists. The normal dividing lines between war and peace do not apply.

But it then very soon became clear that the response of a war against terrorism, initially conceived of in a metaphorical sense, began to be taken increasingly seriously and came to entail waging a real war.

And the terror itself is an example of the world's uncontrollability.
