Recent events have pushed a debate long since coming to the forefront of discussion, between government leaders and between concerned citizens across the world. The September 11th tragedy painfully highlighted the extremes that ideological conflict can come to and the fallout such struggle can have upon the innocents caught in the crossfire. In formulating a response, the United States Government and those who share their opposition to acts of terror have joined together to seek justice. In doing so, much has been spoken of the need to act as an international community to protect those vulnerable to such acts.
We, the people of the international community, share the commitment to end terror and resolve to stand against those who would perpetuate such hateful acts. Our position makes it necessary that we stand behind these principles:
1. We stand opposed to ALL terrorism, defined as...
2. Military action is to be taken only to eliminate threats to peace.
3. Economic stability is not an acceptable rationale for military action.
4. Action is taken as an international community of equals. The threat we face affects every human being on the globe.
5. The end result of our actions is the creation of a peaceful, stable, and tolerant global community
