— AND NOW, WATCH THE LIVE ADDRESS OF President Kenan Vaine — said the anchor of the evening news.
The scene changed from the television studio to the Oval Office of the White House, where Kenan could be seen at his desk, with large windows overlooking the South Lawn and an American flag flying nearby.
— Good evening, everyone — said the President, with his patient and slow manner of speaking. — As the leader of this country, I come to deliver important messages to you at this critical time. Together with the FBI and through your serious work, I am considering this a terrorist attack, no longer a domestic problem caused by a single individual. Once a bomb is used, we are led to think so.
The President remained firm, with an unshakable posture, this is what Machiavelli's The Prince said:
The Prince in front of everyone is unshakable...
— We are trying hard to find out who was responsible for hurting our people, but we also know that the American people are strong and refuse to be terrorized. Proof of this, what we saw at that moment was not only a terrorist act, but also gestures of love and solidarity from those who made an effort to help the injured, took the victims to the hospitals and donated blood. Men and women who are also treating these people in the hospitals.
— I emphasize the people of New York, who did not allow themselves to be shaken by this attack, but are continuing their normal lives and showing what we are, what America is. We will fight evil with our compassion and without fear. I would like to ask that if you see anything suspicious, please report it to the authorities. The agencies have been working to ensure our safety, seeking solutions to confront this threat, and they need all the help they can get...
— I would also like to say that I am pleased with the local leaders, Mayor Thomas Reinalds and New York Governor Nick Rogers, who have been courageous and strong in this critical moment. I am here to tell you now my position regarding this terrible situation. While we work internally to find answers, I will begin an external campaign to seek solutions. Definitive solutions. We will no longer tolerate terror and allow this evil to remain alive. Therefore, with the union of the main world leaders, I intend to create the Siege of Terrorism, an effort without borders, be they of race, culture or religion...
— With our combined forces, we will finally fight terrorism in a serious way. I count on the support of every American citizen and every conscious citizen in the world who is listening to me. Great changes only happen with great actions. This effort will be one of them. When you are asked at some point if we can, being so different, come together for a single purpose, when you are asked if we can really end terror or change the world in such an impactful way, when they ask you these things, just say: yes, we can. Thank you very much for your attention, have a good evening...

— What can we expect from this new announcement? Will it be a new UN? — speculated a third.
— This is a spark to incite World War III! — said the most nervous ones.
Each news outlet presented its own point of view on the case. This was the topic of the day for the world. Some world leaders were already taking a stand, for or against, but no one dared to ignore the issue.
