CCNet SPECIAL: American & Britain Join Forces in War Against Terrorism Monday, October 8, 2001
----------------------------------------------------------

"When the United States wages war against terrorism, it will fight looking through the eyes of Air Force Space Command. The United States will never go to war without the space systems operated by AFSPC, said Gen. Ralph E. Eberhart, AFSPC commander. "Whatever this nation does, wherever they do it, they're not going to leave home without us," Eberhart said while discussing the role his command plays in national defense and global stability."
-- Spaceflight Now, 8 October 2001

"None of us should underestimate what is at stake. We are at a critical juncture between two possible futures. One is the globalisation of terror. Passengers on a plane or workers in an office can find themselves suddenly caught up in a conflict that is not theirs and which began hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles away. When this happens we are all affected. We lose that trust and sense of security on which everyday life depends. We are plunged into what Hobbes called a "state of nature", the "war of all against all" in which life becomes "nasty, brutish and short", or at the very least, etched with fear. The other is a world in which we share our blessings. Globalisation is full of benign possibilities if we choose to make it so. The Internet is the most powerful means yet devised for universalising access to knowledge. New technologies in medicine and agriculture will make it possible to treat disease and famine across the globe. There is every reason - political, economic and ethical - for the West to wish to share its prosperity with others while respecting cultural and religious differences. But that will happen only if terror is defeated. Partnership depends on trust."
-- Jonathan Sacks, The Times, 8 October 2001
