G. BUSH: The decision to remove Saddam Hussein was the right decision and I'm absolutely convinced it was.
Where I get down is when I, you know, that some grieving mom or wife or dad has lost their loved one and that's the 
（1） of war. And I've met with enough families to know how it's broken their heart to lose a loved one.
But I made the right decision and we will succeed in Iraq, unless we decide to quit. And success in Iraq will be really important for the world. It's important for there to be a democracy in the heart of the Middle East.
Things don't happen quickly when it comes to helping a nation go from a tyranny to a democracy. But the Iraqi people were given a chance to vote and they did （2）. And now we're working with a new unity government, to help succeed.

KING: But you never lose resolve?
L. BUSH: No, I don't think you can lose resolve, not at this point.
G. BUSH: It's easy to lose resolve if you made decisions based upon polls. If you make decisions based upon what you believe in your heart of hearts, you stay resolved. And what we're doing is hard.
