George W. Bush: “I believe that out of this evil will come some incredible good.”

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

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

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