Ours is a nation that does not seek revenge.

All of us here today understand this: We do not fight Islam, we fight against evil.

Our enemies send other people's children on missions of suicide and murder. They embrace tyranny and death as a cause and a creed. We stand for a different choice - made long ago, on the day of our founding. We affirm it again today. We choose freedom and the dignity of every life.
