Time For the United Nations to Define Terrorism
A dozen explosions ripped through the Iraqi capital in rapid succession Wednesday, killing at least 152 people and wounding 542 in a series of attacks that began with a suicide car bombing that targeted laborers assembled to find work for the day.
Today the President addressed the United Nations. Meanwhile the United Nations still can't come together and define the word "Terrorism".
Today the President stated,As a symbol of our commitment to human dignity, the United States will return to UNESCO. (Applause.)

This organization has been reformed and America will participate fully in its mission to advance human rights and tolerance and learning.
Confronting our enemies is essential, and so civilized nations will continue to take the fight to the terrorists. Yet we know that this war will not be won by force of arms alone. We must defeat the terrorists on the battlefield, and we must also defeat them in the battle of ideas. We must change the conditions that allow terrorists to flourish and recruit, by spreading the hope of freedom to millions who've never known it. We must help raise up the failing states and stagnant societies that provide fertile ground for the terrorists. We must defend and extend a vision of human dignity, and opportunity, and prosperity -- a vision far stronger than the dark appeal of resentment and murder.
