Resolve
Firm resolve, courage in the face of uncertainty and hope for the future; this is what makes a leader. We are exceedingly fortunate to have two such men guiding our countries at this time in history.
Tony Blair: "The purpose of terrorism is not only to kill and maim the innocent, it is to put despair and anger in people's hearts."
President Bush: “The war on terror goes on.”
Tony Blair: ""[Terrorism] is by its savagery designed to cover all conventional politics in darkness, to overwhelm the dignity of democracy and proper process with the impact of bloodshed and of terror. ""
President Bush: “I was most impressed by the resolve of all the [G8] leaders in the room. Their resolve is as strong as my resolve. And that is we will not yield to these people, will not yield to the terrorists. We will find them, we will bring them to justice…”
Tony Blair: ""There is no hope in terrorism, nor any future in it worth living. And it is hope that is the alternative to this hatred. ""
President Bush: “[W]e will spread an ideology of hope and compassion that will overwhelm their ideology of hate”
