President begins second term today Speech to call for spread of freedom

Today, George W. Bush's America comes to him. When the U.S. president takes his oath of office during the country's 55th inauguration ceremony, he will speak of his hopes of spreading freedom and liberty to the world during his second term, but he will do so in a city that has been reduced to an armed camp. He will be surrounded by those who brought him to office for a second time and speaking to a heartland that has congregated in the heart of the capital. "We are led, by events and common sense, to one conclusion — the survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands," Bush will say in his address, according to an excerpt released last night by the White House. "The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world."

America, Bush will say, has "need of idealism and courage, because we have essential work at home — the unfinished work of American freedom.
