Quote of the Quarter
     This quarter’s quotes came from two of the world leader after the September 11th attacks on America.  President Bush said in his address to Congress, “These demands are not open to negotiation or discussion.  The Taliban must act and act immediately.  They will hand over the terrorists or they will share their fate.”  Also Tony Blair, British Prime Minister, made a speech to his Labour Party Conference.  He said, “Whatever the dangers of the action we take, the dangers of inaction are far greater.”
