- Description:
- President George W. Bush makes his fourth State of the Union address focusing on domestic issues, foreign policy, and the war in Iraq. On the United States economy, President Bush says in order to make it stronger, more dynamic, competitive, and productive we need to demand better results from high schools, encourage small businesses, and look towards renewable energy. President Bush announces that the government will continue to support faith-based groups, which bring hope to harsh places. He asks that the Ryan White Act be reauthorized to bring prevention, care, and treatment to the HIV/AIDS outbreak. When speaking of the war in Iraq, Bush says, "In the long term, the peace we seek will only be achieved by eliminating the conditions that feed radicalism and ideologies of murder." Showing the improvements of the Palestinian regions, Bush talks about the recent voting in the area, in which many women got the chance to speak out in their government. To promote peace in the Middle East, Bush states that the U.S. must work with its friends in the region to fight the common threat of terror and confront regimes that continue to harbor terrorists and pursue weapons of mass murder. "Today, Iran remains the world's primary state sponsor of terror -- pursuing nuclear weapons while depriving its people of the freedom they seek and deserve."
