minute inaugural address focused on the need to spread freedom throughout the world with the help of allies and called for unity among friendly, democratic nations. He also addressed relations with traditional allies like Germany, France and other European countries, which soured during Bush's first term over the war in Iraq. "The allies of the United States can know we honour your friendship, we rely on your counsel and we depend on your help," he said. "Division among free nations is a primary goal of freedom's enemies. The concerted effort of free nations to promote democracy is a prelude to our enemies' defeat." Bush emphasized that liberty can be expanded without taking up arms and said the United States will not impose an American-style of government on other countries. --More 2342 Local Time 2042 GMT
