"Deepen Our Commitment to the Richness and Civility of Our Lives"

"Terrorist acts are meant to show us how
thin the veneer of order and decency in the
world is, but they can demonstrate just the
opposite if we use them to deepen our commitment
to the richness and civility of our lives.
That sends a message to the terrorists:
You have failed again."
