'Either with us, or with the terrorists'
2001 · Event
Before a joint session of Congress, President Bush names al-Qaeda, issues the Taliban an ultimatum, and frames the coming era in a single binary sentence addressed to every nation on earth. The war on terror is declared as a war without map or ending: it 'will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated.'
