The Terrorist Attacks On September The 11th Were A Turning Point For Our Nation.

In Time, Perhaps, We Will Mark The Memory Of September 11th In Stone And Metal, Something We Can Show Children, As Yet Unborn, To Help Them Understand What Happened On This Minute And On This Day. But For Those Of Us Who Lived Through These Events, The Only Marker We’ll Ever Need Is The Tick Of A Clock At The 46th Minute Of The Eighth Hour Of The 11th Day.

One Thing Is Clear: The Iraqi People Are Showing Incredible Courage. The United States Of America Must Understand That It's In Our Interests That We Help This Democracy Succeed.

I Do Know That It’s Important For Us To Support The Iraqi People, Who Have Shown Incredible Courage In Their Desire To Live In A Free Society. And If We Ever Give Up The Desire To Help People Who Live In Freedom, We Will Have Lost Our Soul As A Nation, As Far As I’m Concerned.

And They Will Be Dealt With In Just The Same Way. Like All Fascists, The Terrorists Can Not Be Appeased. They Must Be Defeated. This Struggle Will Not End In A Truce Or A Treaty.

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.

Some Of The Comments That Have Been Uttered About Islam Do Not Reflect The Sentiments Of My Government Or The Sentiments Of Most Americans. Islam, As Practiced By The Vast Majority Of People, Is A Peaceful Religion, A Religion That Respects Others. Ours Is A Country Based Upon Tolerance And We Welcome People Of All Faiths In America.

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).

The Free Exercise Of Faith Is The Fundamental Right Of Every American, And That Right Doesn't Stop At The Schoolhouse Door.
