maintaining our commitment to our ultimate objective. The defeat of
terror is a worthy and necessary goal in its own right. But ridding the
world of terrorism is essential to a broader purpose. We strive to
build an international order wheremore countries and peoples are
integrated into a world consistent with the interests and values we
share with our partners--values such as human dignity, rule of law,
respect for individual liberties, open and free economies, and
religious tolerance. We understand that a world in which these values
are embraced as standards, not exceptions, will be the best antidote to
the spread of terrorism. This is the world we must build today.
