"Three years after the attack on our country, Americans remain strong and resolute, patient in a just cause, and confident of the victory to come,"   President George W. Bush, Sept. 11, 2004, Weekly Radio Address     Patriot Day 2004 September 11      As we commemorate the third anniversary of the attacks of September 11, it's appropriate to honor the fallen, to reflect on how far we have come and to determine what more might be done.  •   The Taliban regime is no longer in power in Afghanistan. •   Osama bin Laden is clearly on the run. •   Saddam Hussein is in jail, soon to be on trial. •   His sons, Uday and Qusay, are dead. •   The people of Iraq are forming a representative government that will not threaten their people or their region or the world. •   The United States and the United Kingdom have shut down the clandestine network that had provided nuclear technologies to Libya, Iran, North Korea and possibly other nations. •   Libyan leader Muammar Qadhafi has given up his nuclear weapons program. •   Pakistan, which once supported the Taliban, is today our strong ally against terrorism.
