September 11 Quotes - Page 7

• You don't bargain with terrorists. You don't appease terrorists. And anybody who believes that this is about something we've done has to ask themselves why it is, on September 11, 2001, before we were in Afghanistan, before we were in Iraq, he committed a dastardly attack killing over 3,000 people. I mean, this is not a matter of negotiation; it's a matter of victory.

• Since September 11, the Mirror has reached back to its roots, and decided, it seems, to be something of its old self again. I received a call asking if I would write for it again, which I've done. It's a pleasure to be able to do that. It's become an important antidote to a media that is, most of it, supportive of the establishment, some of it quite rabidly rightwing. The Mirror is breaking ranks, and that's good news.

• El Bin Laden que conocí en cada ocasión vestía una sencilla túnica blanca saudí, con una sencilla kafiya barata y sandalias de plástico muy baratas. Pero en una cinta de vídeo difundida antes del 11 de septiembre, que vi en la televisión libanesa, aparecía con una túnica bordada en oro. Cuando lo vi, pensé, vaya, ¿ha cambiado este tipo? Cuando lo conocí, no me lo habría imaginado con una túnica tan dorada.

• Mi educación fue bastante interesante. Fue una educación intelectual rigurosa, pero con la idea de que formábamos parte de una empresa importante y legítima. Eso significaba sentarse a la mesa desde una edad muy temprana con personas de todos los orígenes que creían en Dios. Cuando informaba tras los atentados del 11 de septiembre en Irak y en otros lugares, sentí que tenía la capacidad de hablar con personas cuyas creencias podrían parecer extravagantes a periodistas más seculares. Sentía que podía ser un traductor entre esos dos mundos.

• El terrible estado de la educación pública ha pagado enormes dividendos en ignorancia. Enormes. Ahora tenemos un país al que se le pueden decir mentiras descaradas -fácilmente comprobables, mentiras descaradas- y no estoy hablando de los trabajos encubiertos de la CIA. Cuando tenemos un ataque terrorista, el 11 de septiembre de 2001, con 19 hombres -15 de ellos saudíes- y cinco minutos después todo el país piensa que son de Irak, ¿cómo se puede tener fe en el público? Este es un hecho fácilmente comprobable. El país entero es como los jurados de O.J. Simpson.

• El 11 de septiembre fue un día de des-iluminación. La política se reveló como una verdadera Noche de Walpurgis de lo irracional. Y tan vieja, tan vieja. Los conflictos a los que ahora nos enfrentamos o tememos implican ámbitos geográficos opuestos, pero también siglos o incluso milenios opuestos. Es un paisaje de feroces anacronismos: la yihad nuclear en el subcontinente indio; el agonismo medieval del Islam; los desatinos de la Edad de Bronce en Oriente Próximo.

• Immediately after the September 11th attacks, I volunteered to go to Afghanistan in any capacity that the CIA wanted me. Four months passed before I was able to go overseas, just because my skill set was not one that was important in those really early days after the attacks.

• Before September 11, we were fighting terrorism in our southwestern Philippines, and it was a lonely fight. However, we were able to contain it now in one island in that part of the Philippines. But after September 11, and after the creation of the global coalition against terrorism, now we have allies, and I believe now it will easier with allies.

• There are terrible, terrible memories of September 11th, things that I saw, people that I lost, the devastation, the identification of bodies. I mean, all these memories come back to you at different times. And then the other side of it this tremendous response with the firefighters and the police officers saving people, the rescue workers.

• The attacks of September 11, 2001, were spectacular, riveting, grim, costly and searing. The shock that they caused reverberated throughout the world. What happened in New York and Washington and Pennsylvania ended the lives of thousands of people and changed the lives of many more. But they did not change the world.

• Women became almost our bigger audience. Teenage girls went crazy for my movie. I saw it. I went to theatres all over and there were gangs of girls going and screaming. There were kids that were 10 or 11 years old when September 11 happened. They've been told for years they're going to get killed, they're going to get blown up. Every time you go on an airplane, X-ray your shoes because you're going to get blown up. Terror alert orange, don't travel. So, people have a reaction and they want to scream. Horror movies have become the new date movie.
