Abstract
I was waking up in the sunny California morning on September 11, 2001. Instead of music playing on my radio alarm clock, I was hearing fragments of news broadcast about airplanes crashing into the Pentagon and the twin towers of the World Trade Center. I thought I was dreaming about waking up in an alternative universe.
We’re a nation that is adjusting to a new type of war. This isn’t a conventional war that we’re waging. Ours is a campaign that will have to reflect the new enemy. … The new war is not only against the evildoers themselves; the new war is against those who harbor them and finance them and feed them… We will need patience and determination in order to succeed.
—President George W. Bush (September 11, 2001).
Our company around the world will continue to operate in this sometimes violent world in which we live, offering products that reach to the higher and more positive side of the human equation.
—Disney CEO Michael Eisner (September 11, 2001).
He risked his life to stop a tyrant, then gave his life trying to help build a better Libya. The world needs more Chris Stevenses.
—U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (September 12, 2012).
