So, too, with international aviation. The enemy who struck New York and Washington, D.C., could just as easily target any one of the world's other great cities. Now, we know it is the price of mobility. Two weeks ago today, in New York City, at the Pentagon, and in the fields of Pennsylvania, that threat became a reality. But the United States cannot stand alone in this endeavor to safeguard civil aviation.
Aviation security is a global challenge.
It calls for global solutions. The world waits for us to do what needs to be done. Once again let civil aviation become the symbol of commerce, the symbol of prosperity, the symbol of peace.
