This New Enemy Seeks To Destroy Our Freedom And Impose Its Views. We Value Life; The Terrorists Ruthlessly Destroy It. We Value Education; The Terrorists Do Not Believe Women Should Be Educated Or Should Have Health Care, Or Should Leave Their Homes. We Value The Right To Speak Our Minds; For The Terrorists, Free Expression Can Be Grounds For Execution. We Respect People Of All Faiths And Welcome The Free Practice Of Religion; Our Enemy Wants To Dictate How To Think And How To Worship Even To Their Fellow Muslims.

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.

This Is A Global War On Terror.

I Understand How Democracy Works. Quite A Little Bit Of Criticism In It, Which Is Fine. That's Fine. That's Part Of The Process.

Ours Is A War Not Against A Religion, Not Against The Muslim Faith. But Ours Is A War Against Individuals Who Absolutely Hate What America Stands For, And Hate The Freedom Of The Czech Republic.

In Addition To Declaring And Destroying All Of Its Weapons Of Mass Destruction, Iraq Must End Its Support For Terrorism. It Must Cease The Persecution Of Its Civilian Population. It Must Stop All Illicit Trade Outside The Oil-for-food Program. And It Must Release Or Account For All Gulf War Personnel, Including An American Pilot, Whose Fate Is Still Unknown. By Taking These Steps, And Only By Taking These Steps, The Iraqi Regime Has An Opportunity To Avoid Conflict. These Steps Would Also Change The Nature Of The Iraqi Regime Itself. America Hopes The Regime Will Make That Choice.

We Have Learned That Terrorist Attacks Are Not Caused By The Use Of Strength; They Are Invited By The Perception Of Weakness. And The Surest Way To Avoid Attacks On Our Own People Is To Engage The Enemy Where He Lives And Plans. We Are Fighting That Enemy In Iraq And Afghanistan Today So That We Do Not Meet Him Again On Our Own Streets, In Our Own Cities.

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.

And Also We Have To Make Sure That We Don't Repeat Old Mistakes; This Help Is Only Short Term.

No President Ever Puts American Lives At Risk Without A Terrible Sense Of Responsibility. And No American Ever Hears Or Reads Of A Soldier’s Death Without Saying A Silent Prayer For The Dead Hero Or Thinking Of The Grief Of The Family And Friends. Every Young Man Or Woman Who Dies Represents A Life With Its Own Dreams And Plans, Extinguished So Suddenly.

Now And In The Future, Americans Will Live As Free People, Not In Fear, And Never At The Mercy Of Any Foreign Plot Or Power.
