Answer:
We should reiterate our determination to wage war on international terrorism wherever it exists. We must promote democracy and human rights abroad through a carrot and stick approach: bestow foreign aid on like-minded developing countries that endorse our values, and withhold aid and censure nations that sponsor terrorism, such as Syria and the Palestinian Authority. It was unconsciounable that Canada provided aid to the PA to purchase schoolbooks that promoted hatred.
