George W. Bush: “Every civilized nation has a stake in preventing the spread of weapons of mass destruction.”

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

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

What America does for itself has made it strong--but what America does for others has made it great.

I applaud your Governor's response to that tragedy.
