Religion Is A Personal, Private Matter And Parents, Not Public School Officials, Should Decide Their Children's Religious Training. We Should Not Have Teacher-led Prayers In Public Schools, And School Officials Should Never Favor One Religion Over Another, Or Favor Religion Over No Religion (or Vice Versa).

I Believe It Is In The National Interest That Government Stand Side-by-side With People Of Faith Who Work To Change Lives For The Better. I Understand In The Past, Some In Government Have Said Government Cannot Stand Side-by-side With People Of Faith. Let Me Put It More Bluntly, Government Can't Spend Money On Religious Programs Simply Because There's A Rabbi On The Board, Cross On The Wall, Or A Crescent On The Door.

Africa's Economy Needs To Grow But They're Not Growing.

Through Centuries Of Struggle, Jews Across The World Have Been Witnesses Not Only Against The Crimes Of Men, But For Faith In God And God Alone.

That Story Continues In The Defense Of The State Of Israel.

Usama Bin Laden Feels Like Iraq Is A Part Of This War On Terror. He Has Made It Clear That He Would Like For Us To Leave Before Iraq Can Defend Itself Or Govern Itself And Sustain Itself, So That He Could Have A Safe Haven From Which To Launch Further Attacks, A Safe Haven From Which To Topple Modern Governments, A Safe Haven From Which To, You Know, Be Able To Get A Hold Of Oil Resources.

We Can't Impose Freedom, But We Can Eliminate Roadblocks To Freedom, And To Allow Free Societies To Develop.

As Iraqi Forces Gain Experience And The Political Process Advances, We Will Be Able To Decrease Our Troop Level In Iraq Without Losing Our Capability To Defeat The Terrorists. These Decisions About Troop Levels Will Be Driven By The Conditions On The Ground In Iraq And The Good Judgment Of Our Commanders, Not By Artificial Timetables Set By Politicians In Washington.
