George W. Bush's 2005 Inauguration Speech

President George W. Bush’s second address in 2005 followed the September 11th terrorist attacks on the United States and the U.S. involvement in wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. “We go forward with complete confidence in the eventual triumph of freedom not because history runs on wheels of inevitability,” Bush said. “It is human choices that move events. Not because we consider ourselves a chosen nation. God moves and chooses as he wills. We have confidence because freedom is the permanent hope of mankind, the hunger in dark places, the longing of the soul.”
