- Jurgen Habermas

About this Quote

This quote by Jurgen Habermas is a criticism of the European federal governments in the wake of the September 11th attacks. He is suggesting that the European federal governments have actually not been able to increase to the event and take a combined position in the face of the tragedy. Rather, they have actually been too concentrated on their own nationwide interests and have stopped working to come together to attend to the concern. This absence of unity has actually been a major obstacle in the battle against terrorism and has hindered the development of global cooperation. Habermas is calling for the European governments to take a more unified technique and to look beyond their own nationwide interests in order to successfully fight terrorism.
