I actually think, when you're young, ambitions are somewhat common - you want to prove yourself. It may grow out of different life experiences.

And they will be dealt with in just the same way. Like all fascists, the terrorists can not be appeased. They must be defeated. This struggle will not end in a truce or a treaty. It will end in victory for the United States, our friends and for the cause of freedom.
