30. What do you expect to
learn in college and
what do you think it
will do for you?

31. "If we try to resolve terrorism with
military might and nothing else, then
we will be no safer than we were
before 9/11. If we truly want a legacy
of peace for our children, we need to
understand that this is a war that
will ultimately be won with books,
not with bombs."

32. "Osama, baah!" Bashir roared. "Osama is not a
product of Pakistan or Afghanistan. He is a creation of
America. Thanks to America, Osama is in every home.
As a military man, I know you can never fight and win
against someone who can shoot at you once and then
run off and hide while you have to remain eternally on
guard. You have to attack the source of your enemy's
strength. In America's case, that's not Osama or
Saddam or anyone else. The enemy is ignorance. That
only way to defeat it is to build relationships with these
people, to draw them into the modern world with
education and business. Otherwise the fight will go on
forever."
