I am confident that in the end freedom and democracy will prevail over terror and tyranny. We will win this war on terror - and when we do Americans, the British, Iraqis, and people around the world will be more secure.

We know we must win the war on terror to protect innocent people and the freedoms that define our way of life.

We owe our World War II veterans - and all our veterans - a debt we can never fully repay.

In remembering those who lost their lives in the London attacks and the September 11th attacks we continue our commitment to fighting for freedom, democracy and justice.

Eliminating the death tax is particularly important for the many small business owners and family farmers that call Central Washington home.

This is a form of double taxation and it's simply unfair.

Those who committed these cowardly acts may believe that they have shaken our resolve to defeat terrorism. They could not be more wrong.
