Washington, Mar 17: The United States has called for a new strategy in the global campaign against terrorism in the wake of the Madrid train bombings that left 200 people dead and more than 1,500 injured.
Thursday's blasts "once again reveal the brutality of our enemy and once again show that the fight against terrorism is the responsibility of all free nations. The terrorists are testing the unity and the resolve of the civilized world, and we must rise to that test," Vice President Dick Cheney said.
"Against this kind of determined, organized, ruthless enemy, America requires a new strategy, not merely to prosecute a series of crimes, but to conduct a global campaign against terrorist networks," Cheney said in an address in Denver, Colorado yesterday.
Terrorists hold no territory, defends no population, is unconstrained by rules of warfare, and respects no law of morality, Cheney said.
"Such an enemy cannot be deterred, contained, appeased, or negotiated with -- it can only be destroyed. And that is the business at hand," he said. Bureau Report
