President George W. Bush emphasizes a point as he delivers remarks Tuesday, June 5, 2007, to democracy advocates at Czernin Palace in Prague.

Freedom is the design of our Maker, and the longing of every soul. Freedom is the best way to unleash the creativity and economic potential of a nation. Freedom is the only ordering of a society that leads to justice. And human freedom is the only way to achieve human rights." White House photo by Chris Greenberg
