George W. Bush: “It is doing so in defense of the values that define the Canadian nation and that unite our two peoples.”

Those who have lost their precious children are facing a grief no parents should ever know.

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

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

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