Bush: War on terror a struggle for civilisation
11/09/2006 - 22:31:29US President George Bush, on the fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks, said tonight the war against terror “is a struggle for civilisation” that will require a determined effort by a unified country.
“We are fighting to maintain the way of life enjoyed by free nations,” Bush said in remarks prepared for a television prime-time address from the White House.
The speech was coming at the end of a day in which he honoured the memory of the nearly 3,000 people killed in the attacks that rocked his presidency and thrust the US into a costly and unfinished war against terror.
“Our nation has endured trials, and we face a difficult road ahead,” the president said.
