George W. Bush: “I call upon the international community and Iraq's neighbors to do everything in their power to help Iraq's Government…”

We are heartbroken by the loss of life and the agony so many are feeling.

Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you.

That is the America I know.

Today, we remember your loss, we share your sorrow and we honor the men and women that you have loved so long and so well.
