President Bush Delivers State of the Union Address

“Men and women who are free to determine their own destinies will reject terror and refuse to live in tyranny,” President Bush told Congress in the final State of the Union address of his administration January 28.  “That is why, for the security of America and the peace of the world, we are spreading the hope of freedom.”

“Our foreign policy is based on a clear premise:  We trust that people, when given the chance, will choose a future of freedom and peace,” Bush said, declaring renewed U.S. commitment to the Middle East peace process, support for emerging democracies against the forces of extremism and new humanitarian aid initiatives to confront the challenges of hunger and disease worldwide. more               in Arabic
