It was a sign that the United States, the most powerful country in the world, could watch the cathedral of capitalism at the Trade Center and the heart of its defense at the Pentagon be struck internally, not really across borders, so that borders don't matter anymore.”

It was a liberalization phase, with the main goal of European integration at the time being the removal of various barriers and borders in Europe.

This no longer has anything to do with freedom and democracy.”

The West's policies toward Eastern Europe, the Helsinki process - none of that really helped us.”
