And we are rising to meet them.\" \u003cbr/\u003e11. Various of applause \u003cbr/\u003e12. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W. Bush, US President: \u003cbr/\u003e\" We have not come all this way through tragedy, and trial, and war only to falter and leave our work unfinished.  Americans are rising to the tasks of history, and they expect the same of us.  In their efforts, their enterprise, and their character, the American people are showing that the state of our Union is confident and strong. Our greatest responsibility is the active defense of the American people.  Twenty-eight months have passed since September 11th, 2001 over two years without an attack on American soil, and it is tempting to believe that the danger is behind us.  That hope is understandable, comforting  and false.  The killing has continued in Bali, Jakarta, Casablanca, Riyadh, Mombassa, Jerusalem, Istanbul, and Baghdad.  The terrorists continue to plot against America and the civilized world. And by our will and courage, this danger will be defeated.\"\u003cbr/\u003e13. Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld standing up and clapping \u003cbr/\u003e14. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W. Bush, US President: \u003cbr/\u003e\"Because of American leadership and resolve, the world is changing for the better.  Last month, the leader of Libya voluntarily pledged to disclose and dismantle all of his regime's weapons of mass destruction programs, including a uranium enrichment project for nuclear weapons. Colonel Qadhafi correctly judged that his country would be better off, and far more secure, without weapons of mass murder.  Nine months of intense negotiations involving the United States and Great Britain succeeded with Libya, while 12 years of diplomacy with Iraq did not. And one reason is clear:  For diplomacy to be effective, words must be credible and no one can now doubt the word of America.\"  \u003cbr/\u003e15. Secretary of State Colin Powell standing up and clapping \u003cbr/\u003e16. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W. Bush, US President: \u003cbr/\u003e\"Different threats require different strategies.  Along with nations in the region, we are insisting that North Korea eliminate its nuclear program.  America and the international community are demanding that Iran meet its commitments and not develop nuclear weapons.  America is committed to keeping the world's most dangerous weapons out of the hands of the world's most dangerous regimes.\"\u003cbr/\u003e17. Applause \u003cbr/\u003e18. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W. Bush, US President: \u003cbr/\u003e\"We also hear doubts that democracy is a realistic goal for the greater Middle East, where freedom is rare.  Yet it is mistaken, and condescending, to assume that whole cultures and great religions are incompatible with liberty and self-government.  I believe that God has planted in every heart the desire to live in freedom.  And even when that desire is crushed by tyranny for decades, it will rise again.\" \u003cbr/\u003e19. Applause \u003cbr/\u003e20. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W. Bush, US President:   \u003cbr/\u003e\"In these last three years, adversity has also revealed the fundamental strengths of the American economy.  We have come through recession, and terrorist attack, and corporate scandals, and the uncertainties of war.  And because you acted to stimulate our economy with tax relief, this economy is strong, and growing stronger.\"\u003cbr/\u003e21. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W. Bush, US President:  \u003cbr/\u003e\"My fellow citizens, we now move forward, with confidence and faith. Our Nation is strong and steadfast.  The cause we serve is right, because it is the cause of all mankind.  The momentum of freedom in our world is unmistakable and it is not carried forward by our power alone.  We can trust in that greater power who guides the unfolding of the years.  And in all that is to come, we can know that His purposes are just and true. May God bless the United States of America.  Thank you.\" \u003cbr/\u003e22. Bush leaving podium \u003cbr/\u003e23. Various shots of Bush walking through audience shaking hands \u003cbr/\u003eIn his State of the Union address on Tuesday night, US President George W. Bush asserted that America is strengthening its economy and successfully combatting terrorism. \u003cbr/\u003eBush said the nation faced important challenges and choices.  He said it was tempting - but wrong - to think the danger of terrorist attacks had passed even though it has been more than two years since America was attacked.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We have come through recession and terrorist attack and corporate scandals and the uncertainties of war,\" the president told lawmakers at the opening of a campaign year. \"And because you acted to stimulate our economy with tax relief, this economy is strong and growing stronger.\"\u003cbr/\u003eDemocrats were quick to take issue, noting that 2.3 (m) million jobs have been lost under Bush, that deficits are soaring and casualties are climbing in Iraq.  Democrats sat silently through most of Bush's 54-minute speech while Republicans applauded repeatedly.\u003cbr/\u003eBush's speech was designed to cast him as the commander in chief, grappling with U.S. problems and above politics while Democratic rivals for his office race around the campaign trail trading charges.\u003cbr/\u003eThe speech fell one day after the one-two finish of Senators John Kerry and John Edwards in the Iowa caucuses threw the Democrats' presidential race into a wide-open contest going into next week's New Hampshire primary.\u003cbr/\u003eBush faced an electorate closely divided over the United States' direction.  Americans are evenly split on his handling of domestic issues such as education, health care and energy, and just over half approve of his handling of the economy, polls suggest.  \u003cbr/\u003eHis strong suit remains foreign policy, especially his handling of terrorism. Bush's job approval among voters in an AP-Ipsos poll early this month was 56 percent, a relatively strong position at this stage of a re-election campaign.\u003cbr/\u003eBush said his administration was confronting nations that harbor and support terrorists and can supply them with nuclear, chemical or biological weapons. \u003cbr/\u003eHe said the United States has captured or killed two-thirds of the leadership of the al-Qaida network - although Osama bin Laden remains at large.  He called on Congress to renew key portions of the Patriot Act that the administration says has given law enforcement officials the\u003cbr/\u003etools they need to combat terrorists.\u003cbr/\u003eThe president defended his decisions to go to war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Of the top 55 officials of Saddam Hussein's regime, 45 have been captured or killed, Bush said.\u003cbr/\u003eBush acknowledged that some Americans opposed his decision to go to war in Iraq. But he said, \"Had we failed to act, the dictator's weapons of mass destruction programs would continue to this day.\"  \u003cbr/\u003eHis words served as a reminder that the United States has not been able to find any banned weapons in Iraq, which was Bush's justification for going to war.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
