George W. Bush: “It should be our goal as a nation to build a culture of life.”

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

The creativity, ingenuity, and resourcefulness of the American people is our country's greatest strength.

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.

Is it in our interest that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your hard work and God bless you.
