They will never kill democracy - Powell
11/09/2001 - 22:35:31US Secretary of State Colin Powell, in Peru for a special meeting of regional leaders, immediately headed back to the US, phoning major allies as he flew.
‘‘Once again, we see terrorism, we see terrorists, people who don’t believe in democracy, people who feel that with the destruction of buildings, with the murder of people, they can somehow achieve a political purpose,’’ he said.
‘‘They can destroy buildings, they can kill people, and we will be saddened by this tragedy, but they will never be allowed to kill the spirit of democracy,’’ Powell said.
‘‘You can be assured that America will deal with this tragedy in a way that brings those responsible to justice.’’
