George W. Bush: “America is standing with these democratic reformers because we know that the only force powerful enough to stop the rise…”

I know campaigns are stressful and taxing.

Today, we remember your loss, we share your sorrow and we honor the men and women that you have loved so long and so well.

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

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