today President Bush will be addressing the United Nations, and he is asking those who champion freedom to pull together and support the reconstruction of Iraq. He will make a powerful case because freedom is a powerful force. Freedom is a beacon to people all over this land-- indeed, all over the world. It leads countries to greatness and men and women to their highest aspirations. We look forward to hearing his comments later this morning. It is clear this body will stand by the Iraqis, will help them build a free, prosperous, and democratic Iraq. Their future, indeed, our security and the security of civilized people everywhere depends on it.
