George W. Bush: “The war for Iraq's freedom is a fight against some of the most ruthless and brutal men on Earth.”

The American economy has consistently proven its strength and resilience in the face of shocks such as natural disasters, high energy prices, and the terrorist attacks of September 11.

You've showed the great strength of America through your work—and that is your good heart.

I applaud your Governor's response to that tragedy.

We know our words cannot help, but we believe the prayers of so many Americans will.
