President Bush (Oct. 27): "I appreciate your leadership. I particularly appreciate the fact that you have led the 26 nations of NATO into Afghanistan to help this young democracy. You know what I know, that the real challenge for the future is to help people of moderation and young democracies succeed in the face of threats and attacks by radicals and extremists who do not share our ideology ... I appreciate the fact that you're reaching out to global partners, nations which share our value, but have not been considered ...a part of NATO. I want to thank your view of making sure NATO continues to provide the opportunity for other nations to join NATO. "

Nowhere is this more apparent than on the Korean Peninsula, which remains tragically divided more than 50 years after the Korean war."
