"...America will not accept a serious and mounting
threat to our country,
our friends and allies.
...We seek peace.
We strive for peace.
And sometimes peace must be defended.
A future lived at the mercy of terrible threats
is no peace at all.
If war is forced upon us,
wew will fight in a just cause
and by just means -- sparing,
in every way we can, the innocent.
And if war is forced upon us,
we will fight with the full force and might
of the United States military --
And we will prevail.
President George W. Bush--January 28, 3002--State of the Union Speech
