Mail from the White House

This is the text of an actual letter I received in response to my emails to the President. It is dated July 14, 2005

Thank you for your letter to President Bush concerning the war on terrorism. The President appreciates hearing your views and welcomes your suggestions.

Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, President Bush has taken important steps to protect America from terrorist threats and prevent terrorists from striking us again. With the help of a broad international coalition, we are engaged in a campaign that spans the globe. Our efforts have resulted in the death or capture of many senior terrorist leaders and the removal of two regimes that harbored terrorists and persecuted their own people. This campaign has disrupted networks of terrorist financing and has included diplomatic efforts to enlist people of every nation in the pursuit of peace.

Our military victories in Iraq and Afghanistan are essential to the war on terrorism, but these nations still face challenges. In Afghanistan, the United States is working to ensure a future of freedom and peace, joining with the new Afghan army to hunt down the remnants of the Taliban regime and their terrorist allies. In Iraq, we have ensured that a dangerous dictator can no longer murder his own people or pursue or use weapons of mass destruction. Currently, terrorists are targeting our successes in Iraq because the rise of a democratic Iraq in the heart of the Middle East will be a further defeat to their ideology of terror. We are committed to giving our men and women in uniform the resources they need to help build free and prosperous societies in Afghanistan and Iraq because our missions in these countries are making America safer.

The war on terrorism is a test of strength, perseverance, patience, and will, but no act of terrorism can weaken our resolve. The President is committed to bringing terrorists to justice wherever they hide. He is confident that this Nation and our friends and allies will succeed in securing America and making the world more peaceful.

Thank you again for taking the time to write. The President sends his best wishes.

Sincerely,
Marguerite A. Murer
Special Assistant to the President
and Director of Presidential Correspondence
