Both President and Mrs. Bush feel strongly that out of the evil of Sept. 11 has come a great deal of good. As President Bush said, we're a nation awakened to terror but also a nation awakened to service, citizenship and compassion.
He sees this as a time of great opportunity -- not only in America to preserve the good that has emerged out in the aftermath of the evil of September 11, but also a time of great opportunity throughout the world,
He talks about three great goals, and I think we can accomplish all three of them. That's what this speech is about.
I'm also working with Mrs. Bush on some education projects in Afghanistan, so I get to see her a great deal.
