A free Iraq will make the Middle East a more peaceful place, and a peaceful Middle East is important to the security of the United States.
I was deeply saddened to hear of Sergio Vieira de Mello's death at the hand of terrorists in Iraq.
The terrorists want to return to the days of torture chambers and mass graves.
We will continue this war on terror until the killers are brought to justice, and we will prevail.
