Quotes about: Terrorism

They are bent on the destruction of the established order and of civilised ways of doing business. They must never be allowed to succeed.

• I am convinced that there is little force left in the Marxist stimulus to revolution. Its impetus is petering out as the practical failures of the doctrine become more obvious...What is left is a technique of subversion and a collection of catch-phrases. The former is still dangerous. Like terrorism, it is a menace that needs to be fought whenever it occurs.
