George W. Bush: “We believed it was the right decision when we did it.”

The American economy has consistently proven its strength and resilience in the face of shocks such as natural disasters, high energy prices, and the terrorist attacks of September 11.

We learned that bravery is more common than we imagined, emerging with sudden splendor in the face of death.

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

seldom has history offered a greater opportunity to do so much for so many.
