President Bush and Palestinian Authority President Abbas Participate in Joint Press Availability President Bush on Thursday said, "...There are some in the world who don't believe in the universality of freedom. I understand that. They say... freedom is okay for some of us, but maybe not all of us. I understand it, but I reject it. I believe in the universality of freedom. I believe, deep in the soul of every man, woman, and child on the face of this Earth is the desire to live in a free society. And I also believe free societies yield peace. And, therefore, this notion of two states living side by side in peace is based upon the universality of freedom, and if given a chance, the Palestinian people will work for freedom."
