Terror, salutary terror, is here in truth the order of the day; it represses all the efforts of the wicked ; it divests crime of all covering and tinsel!

We say our terror against America is blessed terror in order to put an end to suppression, in order for the United States to stop its support to Israel.
Osama bin Laden
Terror, terror, terror. Life was a reign o terror in the shadow of the guillotine.
Paulo Coelho
How can Blair fight a war on terror? Terror is not an ideology or an army; terror is a technique.
David Hockney
We must speak the truth about terror. Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September the 11th; malicious lies that attempt to shift the blame away from the terrorists, themselves, away from the guilty. To inflame ethnic hatred is to advance the cause of terror.
George W. Bush
The big debate in Washington is totally pointless. And the media, about whether Bush downgraded terror in order to invade Iraq. There's nothing to debate. He invaded Iraq. That proves beyond doubt that he downgraded the threat of terror in favor of invading Iraq. They anticipated, and their own intelligence agencies told them, and everyone else did too, that invasion of Iraq was likely to increase the threat of terror. It's not a high priority, so they invaded Iraq because that's much higher priority.
