Realizing today is the 7th anniversary of the September 11th, 2001 tragedy reminded me that terrorism is, indeed, a threat to our world today! There should be no question or any debate about the realty of this.

What the world needs is a coordinated global initiative and strategy to combat this threat. Up until now, at least the public sense is that the US has lead the attack in Iraq and NATO in Afghanistan. However, it’s likely that both initiatives have huge flaws but nevertheless, we must remember that terrorism does exist and does need to be fought. Just because there haven’t been incidents of the same size, scope and horror of 9/11 doesn’t give any of us the right to “stick our heads in the sand”

Every nation must contribute and take the same risks. This is a worldwide challenge and must understood as such and fought in the same manner
