Democracy will succeed in Iraq, because our will is firm, our word is good, and the Iraqi people will not surrender their freedom.

We will help the Iraqi people establish a peaceful and democratic country in the heart of the Middle East.

Welcome to the people's house.

I'm glad to be going to a free country where people are allowed to protest.

The American people are committed to the future of an Iraq that is democratic and prosperous.

This statement is an important step toward realizing the vision of Iraq as a democratic, pluralistic country at peace with its neighbors.

It also commits Iraq to a process for drafting a permanent, democratic constitution that protects the rights of all citizens.

I am so pleased to be going to a country which says that people are allowed to express their mind.

He has distinguished himself as a passionate spokesman for freedom, an advocate for democracy, and a true friend of the United States.

The failure of democracy in Afghanistan and Iraq would condemn every advocate of freedom in those two countries to prison or death.

Fifty million people in those two countries once lived under tyranny, and today, they live in freedom.

We celebrate and honor the patriots who have fought to protect the democratic ideals that are the foundation of our country.

The great and proud nation of Egypt has shown the way toward peace in the Middle East and now should show the way toward democracy in the Middle East.

As long as freedom and democracy do not flourish in the Middle East, that region will remain stagnant, resentful, and violent.

Securing democracy in Iraq is the work of many hands.

America has accomplished the task of spreading democracy where it has not existed before.

Democratic progress is found in many predominantly Muslim countries.

Democracy and Islam can coexist.
