Quote by Jean Chretien

“I was stricken by news and television pictures coming from the United States this morning. It is impossible to fully comprehend the evil that would have conjured up such a cowardly and depraved assault upon thousands of innocent people.

Indeed, such an attack is an assault not only on the targets but an offense against the freedom and rights of all civilized nations.”
