A Reagan Forum "September 11"

As we think of 9-11, we cannot forget, we cannot be complacent, and we most certainly cannot let the terrorists win.  Ronald Reagan said it best:“When terrorism strikes, civilization itself is under attack; no nation is immune.  There’s no safety in silence or neutrality.  If we permit terrorism to succeed anywhere, it will spread like a cancer, eating away at civilized societies and sowing fear and chaos everywhere…the United States can be proud of the role that it plays in that struggle…In our time, it’s terrorism that must be overcome.”
