Nobody's Ever Suggested That The Attacks Of September The 11th Were Ordered By Iraq. I Have Suggested, However, That Resentment And The Lack Of Hope Create The Breeding Grounds For Terrorists Who Are Willing To Use Suiciders To Kill, To Achieve An Objective. I Have Made That Case.

I Ask You To Uphold The Values Of America And Remember Why So Many Have Come Here. We're In A Fight For Our Principles, And Our First Responsibility Is To Live By Them. No One Should Be Singled Out For Unfair Treatment Or Unkind Words Because Of Their Ethnic Background Or Religious Faith.

Through My Faith-based And Community Initiative, My Administration Continues To Encourage The Essential Work Of Faith-based And Community Organizations.

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.
