The alliance should agree... to an effective NATO role against the new threats presented by international terrorism and weapons of mass destruction.

We insist that the international community cannot depend on any country with weapons of mass destruction which has relations with terrorists, and which allows itself the luxury of not respecting the law and of defying the international community.

There is no possible negotiation with these killers. Our aim is to win over terrorism. Only by being firm we can stop terrorism. We must be firm fighting the terrorists and opposing the final aims they want to achieve.

so that we can get away from the idea that some, such as terrorism and weapons of mass destruction, are of concern only to the 'North,' while poverty and hunger only affect people in the 'South.'

I'm not concerned about weapons of mass destruction.

Appeasement was never a very clever policy, and it should not be our option today.
