U.S. President George W. Bush has condemned this week's suicide bomb attacks in Jerusalem and Baghdad as part of militant campaigns to impose a "totalitarian vision".
"These two bombings reveal, once again, the nature of the terrorists, and why they must be defeated," Bush said in his weekly radio address, which was prerecorded.
"Terrorists commit atrocities because they want the civilised world to flinch and retreat so they can impose their totalitarian vision," Bush said.
He said the two bombings were attacks in a war against "every free nation and all our citizens." He vowed to keep fighting and prevail.
