We are reaching out to the Central Asian states. We continue to work closely with India. And we work through multilateral organizations such as the UN, the G-8, and a number of others. We will not let up. But we must also be aware of the nature of the threat before us.
Terrorism is a persistent disease.
Many of you have heard me speak of the positive side of globalization, but terrorism shows the dark side as it exploits the easing of travel restrictions, the improvements of communication or the internationalization of banking and finance, making it easier for terrorists to do some of their work. And so the fight goes on. Just as we acknowledge successes today, we know that there will be new challenges and, yes, some setbacks tomorrow.
