“We live in a time of terror, and contrary to what we see on television and allow ourselves to believe, the real goal of terror is not to kill people but to kill thought; to so demoralize a society that it implodes from within.” PeopleBelieveRealGoalTelevisionTerrorTerrorismContrary Author:John Lahr
“A terrorist can attack at any time at any place using a range of techniques. It is physically impossible to defend at every time in every location against every conceivable technique of terrorism. Therefore, if your goal is to stop it, you cannot stop it by defense. You can only stop it by taking the battle to the terrorists, where they are and going after them.” IfsGoalImpossibleBattleTerrorismDefenseTechniqueTerroristRangeLocation Author:Donald Rumsfeld
“Technically speaking, since our complex societies are highly susceptible to interferences and accidents,they certainly offer ideal opportunities for a prompt disruption of normal activities. These disruptions can, with minimum expense, have considerably destructive consequences. Global terrorism is extreme both in its lack of realistic goals and in its cynical exploitation of the vulnerability of complex systems.” OpportunityGoalOffersActivityNormalConsequenceIdealsComplexesExtremesTerrorismAccidentsVulnerabilityDestructiveExpensesRealisticCynicalExploitationMinimumInterferenceDisruptionPromptsSusceptibleComplex SystemsRealistic Goals Author:Jurgen Habermas
“Terrorism is carried out purposefully, in a cold-blooded, calculated fashion. The declared goals of the terrorist may change from place to place. He supposedly fights to remedy wrongs -- social, religious, national, racial. But for all these problems his only solution is the demolition of the whole structure of society. No partial solution, not even the total redressing of the grievance he complains of, will satisfy him -- until our social system is destroyed or delivered into his hands.” MayWholeProblemHandsFightingSocialGoalReligiousFashionColdSolutionsStructureTerrorismComplainingTerroristDestroyedRemedyGrievanceSocial SystemsCold BloodedDemolition Author:Benjamin Netanyahu

“Success is the ability to meet worthy goals, but it's also the ability to love and have compassion and the ability to get in touch with your creative center, to transform yourself toward more peaceful and just pursuits. I hope we redefine success. Otherwise, we'll see more of what we're already seeing - more aggression, more burnout, more Wall Street scandals, more war, more terrorism, more eco-destruction.” WarGoalAbilityCompassionCreativeSeeingStreetsWallDestructionWorthyTerrorismPursuitPeacefulAggressionScandalBurnoutEcoAbility To Love Author:Deepak Chopra
