Members of Congress display purple ink-stained forefingers as a salute to voters in Sunday's Iraqi election, whose fingers were marked in a similar way, during President George W. Bush's State of the Union Address at the U.S. Capitol, Wednesday, Feb. 2, 2005. "We will succeed because the Iraqi people value their own liberty -- as they showed the world last Sunday," President Bush said. "Americans recognize that spirit of liberty, because we share it. In any nation, casting your vote is an act of civic responsibility; for millions of Iraqis, it was also an act of personal courage, and they have earned the respect of us all."
