President Bush yesterday welcomed seven former Soviet Bloc nations into NATO, urging those countries that "know what tyranny is" to help him rally the alliance in the global war on terrorism.

 

Diplomats and leaders from Bulgaria, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia enthusiastically greeted Mr. Bush´s speech on the South Lawn of the White House. 

 

 "Some wondered whether NATO could adapt to the new threats of the 21st century," Mr. Bush said. "Those doubts were laid to rest on September the 12th, 2001, when NATO invoked -- for the first time in its history -- Article 5 of our charter, which states that an attack against one NATO ally is an attack against all."
