21. Read the following excerpt, and identify which former U. S. President it can best be attributed to. “On September the 11th, enemies of freedom committed an act of war against our country. Americans
have known wars -- but for the past 136 years, they have been wars on foreign soil, except for one
Sunday in 1941. Americans have known the casualties of war -- but not at the center of a great city on a
peaceful morning. Americans have known surprise attacks -- but never before on thousands of
civilians. All of this was brought upon us in a single day -- and night fell on a different world, a world
where freedom itself is under attack."
