HUGHES Prime Minister of Turkey Prime Minister of Pakistan U.S. Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs One of the things that I observed while we were in Russia is the degree to which Russians no longer want to be treated as a stepchild in the Coopera- tive Threat Reduction process [of secur- ing nuclear weapons materials]. There’s an enormous amount of national pride that exists, and the more we can give them a sense that they are cooperat- ing not as supplicants but rather as full partners, the better off we will be. —BARACK OBAMA Member, U.S. Senate (D-IL) 6 at the council Th e terrorists’ vision is based on enslave- ment, and it is precisely because the people the terrorists seek to enslave are powerless that they are vulnerable to its siren song. Th e terrorists’ vision is also based on elit- ism, in which a privileged few decree what is best for everyone—and use terror to impose their will. —STEPHEN J. HADLEY Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs Most of the judges in the sharia courts are illiterate. We had the problem of training judges. They trained them for six to eight weeks and then sent them back to the courts. A lot of them were supposed to have written exams and passed, but our understanding is about 80 to 90 percent of them didn’t. —HAUWA IBRAHIM Nigerian Human Rights Lawyer, 2005 Winner of the Sakharov Prize Th e struggle against global terror is not a clash of civilizations; it is a clash about civilization. It is and ought to be about the unity of civilizations against the barbarity of terrorism in its ultimate defi nition. —JOHN REID U.K. Secretary of State for Defence 7 letter from the chairman S ince I fi rst became a member of this institu- tion in 1971, I have had the extraordinary privilege of seeing it develop in ways that I could not have imagined. As we approach the eighty-fi fth anniversary of the Council’s founding, I fi nd it worthwhile to take stock—where we stand, what we once were, and what we aim to become.
