Bush Speech Quote: "Each of us has pledged before the world we will never bow to the violence of a few...we will overcome it together."

Talking about the terrorist attack in Spain, "murdered at random and without remorse...we have shared in the sorrow of the Spanish people."

Conveying "deepest sympathy" to Spanish Ambassador...

"In this new kind of war, civilians find themselves suddenly in the front lines..." (naming nations). "They've attacked Muslims in Indonesia, Turkey, Pakistan, Iraq and Afghanistan...No nation or region is except from the terrorist campaign of violence...Each attack is designed to demoralize our people and divide us one from another. Each attack must be answered not only with sorrow, but greater determination...and bolder reaction against the killers.

"It is the interest of every country and the duty of every government to fight and destroy this threat to our people."

More from Bush's speech:

"We believe in the values that uphold the dignity of life; tolerance and freedom and the right of conscience. We know that this way of life is worth defending."

"There is no neutral ground in a fight between civilization and terror because there's no neutral ground between good and evil, freedom and slavery, life and death. The war on terror...is an inescapable calling of our generation...

"...No concession will appease their hatred. No accomodation will satisfy their endless demands. Their ultimate positions is to control the people of the ME and blackmail the world with weapons of terror...any sign of weakness or retreat simply validates terrorist violence...the only certain way to protect our people is by united and decisive action.

"In this contest...not every nation participates int he same way, but every nation makes a vital contribution...we're using every tool of finance, intelligence, law enforcement and military power to break terror networks, to deny them refuge and to find their leaders."
