Statement on the 10th Anniversary of 9/11

This Sunday we mark the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, whose effect on the course of American history is still being written every day. Nearly 3,000 people of all faiths and 80 countries were killed that day and many more have perished in the fight against international terrorism in the decade since. The attacks pierced America’s sense of invulnerability but our resilience in the face of such unimaginable violence is a testament to the strength of our great nation.

The 10 years since September 11, 2001, have brought great and meaningful victories but also serious errors of judgment. Fittingly, this decade, which was largely defined by what we were fighting against, has been punctuated by the killing of Osama bin Laden. Now we can turn the page and make the next 10 years more about fighting for our common human values.
