“To defeat terrorism, our global military, law enforcement and intelligence capacities must be complemented with positive initiatives and programs aimed at the young people in developing nations who will guide their countries in the future. No policy has proved more successful in making friends for the United States, during the Cold War and since, than educating students from abroad at our colleges and universities.” (Gates, 2004)
