Message from The President of The United States
George W Bush
Good evening. Today, our fellow
citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came
under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly
terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes,
or in their offices; secretaries, businessmen and
women, military and federal workers; moms and dads,
friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were
suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.
The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings,
fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have
filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness, and
a quiet, unyielding anger. These acts of mass
murder were intended to frighten our nation into
chaos and retreat. But they have failed; our
country is strong.
A great people has been moved to defend a great nation.
Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our
biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation
of America. These acts shattered steel, but they
cannot dent the steel of American resolve.
America was targeted for attack because we're the
brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the
world. And no one will keep that light from shining.
Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human
nature. And we responded with the best of America --
with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring
for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood
and help in any way they could.
Immediately following the first attack, I implemented
our government's emergency response plans. Our
military is powerful, and it's prepared. Our emergency
teams are working in New York City and Washington, D.C.
to help with local rescue efforts.
Our first priority is to get help to those who have
been injured, and to take every precaution to protect
our citizens at home and around the world from further
attacks.
The functions of our government continue without
interruption. Federal agencies in Washington, which had
to be evacuated today, are reopening for essential
personnel tonight, and will be open for business tomorrow.
Our financial institutions remain strong, and the
American economy will be open for business, as well.
The search is underway for those who are behind these evil
acts. I've directed the full resources of our intelligence
and law enforcement communities to find those responsible
and to bring them to justice. We will make no distinction
between the terrorists who committed these acts and those
who harbor them.
I appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have
joined me in strongly condemning these attacks. And on
behalf of the American people, I thank the many world
leaders who have called to offer their condolences and
assistance.
America and our friends and allies join with all those
who want peace and security in the world, and we stand
together to win the war against terrorism. Tonight, I ask
for your prayers for all those who grieve, for the children
whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of
safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they
will be comforted by a power greater than any of us, spoken
through the ages in Psalm 23: "Even though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You
are with me."
This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life
unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has
stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time.
None of us will ever forget this day. Yet, we go forward
to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world.
