秋意凉漠
这是我前两天收集到的一篇英文社评，应该满足你的需要Over the past four days, the state has lost control of England’s streets. What began as localised unrest following the police shooting of a man in north London has exploded into an orgy of arson, looting and feral violence which has spread through the capital and to other English cities. The lawlessness has destroyed business in poor pockets of London and tarnished the city’s reputation the year before it is to host the Olympic Games. The government must now do what is necessary to regain control of the nation’s streets.David Cameron has belatedly recognised the gravity of the situation, cutting short his holiday and recalling parliament. He also ordered an increase in the number of police of the capital to 16,000 and toughened the rules of engagement. Both steps are welcome. The TV images of police standing by impotently as gangs of youths went on the rampage undoubtedly contributed to a sense of impunity among the vandals.The riots in England have turned into a test of competence for the government and for the City’s mayor, Boris Johnson. This is no time for loose talk about public spending cuts being responsible for the violence. The youths who looted shops in search of flat-screen TVs and trainers knew exactly what they were doing. Mr Cameron is right to say that anyone old enough to commit these crimes is old enough to face the full force of the law.A firm response by the police is vital to prevent the violence spreading from London to other major English cities. It is for the government and the Metropolitan Police to determine the precise rules of engagement. Non-lethal tools such as tear-gas and water-cannon should be considered rather than plastic bullets, which have an unhappy history in Northern Ireland. Above all, it is vital that steps are credible. A curfew would be impossible to enforce in a city the size of London.When the violence has been contained, politicians will have to address the initial failure to contain the violence in north London. Longer-term, the resentment and dislocation among the have-nots of British society laid bare this past week is a pressing issue.There is also the question of police morale, already shaken by the phone-hacking scandal and a loss leadership in London. Ministers will have to ask whether 20 per cent budget cuts are compatible with maintaining calm on the streets. The first duty of the state must be to ensure the safety of its citizens.

Moms and dads. Friends andneighbors.Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, hugestructures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and aquiet, unyielding anger.These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos andretreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong. A great people has beenmoved to defend a great nation.Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, butthey cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, butthey cannot dent the steel of American resolve.America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon forfreedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light fromshining.Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature, and we respondedwith the best of America, with the daring of our rescue workers, with thecaring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any waythey could.Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our government'semergency response plans. Our military is powerful, and it's prepared. Ouremergency teams are working in New York City and Washington, D.C., to helpwith local rescue efforts.Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured and to takeevery precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world fromfurther attacks.The functions of our government continue without interruption. Federalagencies in Washington which had to be evacuated today are reopening foressential personnel tonight and will be open for business tomorrow.Our financial institutions remain strong, and the American economy will beopen for business as well.The search is underway for those who are behind these evil acts. I'vedirected the full resources for our intelligence and law enforcementcommunities to find those responsible and bring them to justice. We will makeno distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those whoharbor them.I appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have joined me instrongly condemning these attacks. And on behalf of the American people, Ithank the many world leaders who have called to offer their condolences andassistance.America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace andsecurity in the world and we stand together to win the war against terrorism.Tonight I ask for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the childrenwhose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and securityhas been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a power greaterthan any of us spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: "Even though I walkthrough the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are withme."This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolvefor justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will doso this time.None of us will ever forget this day, yet we go forward to defend freedom andall that is good and just in our world.Thank you. Good night and God bless America.·The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and the abortive attack (possibly aimed at the White House or Camp David) that resulted in the crash of a jetliner in Pennsylvania has resulted in a new and extraordinary emphasis by the Bush administration on combating terrorism. During the last ten days key administration officials, particularly President Bush, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and Secretary of State Colin Powell, have repeatedly emphasized that their long-term objective is the destruction of terrorism – a goal to be achieved by the death or apprehension of terrorists, the destruction of their infrastructure and support base, and retaliation against states that aid or harbor terrorists.Terrorism, however, was hardly ignored in previous administrations. In fact, at the beginning of the Reagan administration, Secretary of State Alexander Haig announced that opposition to terrorism would replace the Carter administration’s focus on advancing human rights throughout the world. Although opposition to terrorism never really became the primary focus of the Reagan administration or successor administrations, each of these paid signifiacnt attention to the issue and produced many important documents that shed light on the policy choices faced today. Terrorism has been the subject of numerous presidential and Defense Department directives as well as executive orders. Terrorist groups and terrorist acts have been the focus of reports by both executive branch agencies (for example, the State Department, CIA, and FBI) as well as Congressional bodies – including the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the Congressional Research Service. The General Accounting Office has also produced several dozen reports evaluating the U.S. government’s ability to prevent or mitigate terrorist strikes, including, one just yesterday, September 20, 2001.The following documents, some of which were obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, include assessments of the terrorist threat and a CIA profile of Usama bin Ladin, presidential and Defense Department policy directives, the details about U.S. response to specific terrorist attacks, and evaluations of U.S. government preparedness to deal with terrorism.其他的再想了解可以去：
