I accept there is an issue which we have to confront.

We are not going to deal with this problem, with the roots as deep as they are, until we confront these people at every single level. And not just their methods but their ideas,

We have to be vigilant and get out and get after them and make sure we deal with this issue,

I find it really odd that we're having to make the case that this is an issue when virtually every week somewhere in the world terrorists loosely linked with the same movement are killing scores of people.

Confront somebody with an issue before it becomes a conflict. Confrontation is not all bad.

In retrospect, the Millennium marked only a moment in time. It was the events of September 11 that marked a turning point in history, where we confront the dangers of the future and assess the choices facing humankind.
