George W. Bush: “Freedom is spreading, and I use the Ukraine as an example, along with Afghanistan and Iraq, about a changing world.”

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 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.

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