George W. Bush: “Our top priority is to help the Iraqis protect their population.”

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.

That is the America I know.

To you and the honored dead, our country is forever grateful.

Laura and I are fortunate to have known Andrew Wyeth and to have had the pleasure of enjoying his work.
