Remarks at Conference on the War on Terrorism, French Senate, Paris, France
“In the political realm, even as our governments carry on the normal pattern of agreeing or disagreeing on trade, economic, and policy matters, we need to ensure that all of us reflect a core sense of political solidarity, backed by deep, tangible commitments of resources and effort on the major new strategic dimensions of this war on terrorism….The opinion of our friends and allies matters. At a basic level, Americans need to know that we are united with Europe, and with other peoples around the world.”
