                        Tuesday, April 17, 2007

  Mr. HASTINGS of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today to introduce a 
resolution condemning in the strongest terms the recent terrorist 
attacks in Morocco and Algeria.
  Often times we forget that we are not the only country or people 
affected by the scourge of international terrorism. Radical extremists 
have affected and disrupted the lives of many of our friends and allies 
all over the world. Daily, we see images and hear stories of blatant, 
unprovoked, vicious attacks on innocent

men, women and children. Our enemy is not limited to fighting on a 
military battlefield. Our enemy does not discern its victims on the 
basis of race, religion or nationality.
  The most recent examples of this complete disregard for human life 
are the attacks occurring this last week in Morocco and Algeria. Not 
only did the attacks result in several deaths and injuries, but whole 
communities were devastated and thrown into extreme chaos.
  The people and governments of Morocco and Algeria must know that we 
stand behind them and that America does not condone any act of 
terrorism, killing several people and devastating communities by the 
chaos and havoc wreaked by them.
  I am pleased my colleague and friend, Representative Michael Rogers 
from Michigan, has joined me as an original cosponsor of this 
resolution. I strongly urge our colleagues to support it and urge its 
swift consideration.
