George W. Bush: “Americans are united by the ideals of equal justice, limited government, and the rule of law.”

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

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

On behalf of the American people, Laura and I offer our sincere condolences to Betsy and the Wyeth family.

We learned that bravery is more common than we imagined, emerging with sudden splendor in the face of death.
