On October 12, 2002, in Bali, Islamist terrorists murdered 202 people and injured many more. Australians are our most loyal ally, their loss is our loss.
The War on Terror is not a nuisance or a passing inconvenience, it's a war waged by zealots who kill and maim innocents in horrific ways without reget or remorse. Australians get it, like us, they paid a price in blood and tears for their free society. Australian are not a people to cower when faced with a challenge or a threat, like us, they do what is right, not because it's easy, but because it's hard.
Honor our steadfast Australian friends with a moment of silence today.
