George W. Bush: “The United States supports this move because we believe it will bring peace.”

Congratulations on becoming our President.

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.

I hereby find that the furnishing of defense articles and defense services to the Southern African Development Community will strengthen the security of the United States and promote world peace.

Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you.
