Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction.

A battlefront in the war on terror is, of course, Iraq. And people in our country are unsettled because of the war, and I understand that. I fully understand why people in America are disquieted about what they're seeing on their TV screens. There's a concern about whether or not we can win. There's no doubt in my mind we will win. And our objective is to have an Iraq that can govern itself, sustain itself and defend itself, an ally in the war on terror, and an example for others in a region that is desperate for freedom.

The enemy cannot defeat us on the battlefield, but what they can do is put horrible images on our TV screens. And it's really important for those who wear our uniform, and the enemy, and the people of Iraq to know that the United States of America will complete the mission, and in so doing, will make our country more secure and will be laying the foundation for peace.
Politics is the art of achieving the maximum amount of freedom for individuals that is consistent with the maintenance of social order.

Chris, by now you must know a little about me, served my country, and am not a liberal, but when I read about those families that have lost children, husbands and sometimes wives in this war, I get really upset. At that fateful moment we had inspectors on the ground, forced them to leave and then we started to bomb this country. At that time there was no reason to rush into this war and could have at least given the inspectors more time. If you remember like I do, Saddam had knuckled under and was allowing the inspectors free access to all places that they wanted to examine.
