George W. Bush: “Our commitment is not open-ended.”

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

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

That is the America I know.

Violence and vitriol must be purged from the public square. Members of other political parties are not our enemies; they are our fellow citizens.
