BY JOSE MARIA AZNAR Sunday, November 7, 2004 12:01 a.m. EST Hope has triumphed. I know that some may be surprised to read this, but I am convinced of the fact. Hope has triumphed, and with it the confidence of the American people in the values and principles on which our shared civilization on both sides of the Atlantic is based. George W. Bush decided to respond to totalitarian terrorist attacks with a return to basic principles. He could have chosen appeasement. He could have opted for mere rhetoric. He decided not to do so. He decided to oppose brutality with steadfast conviction. Now a wide majority of his people has backed this policy. It has confirmed that there is hope in our way of life, a form of hope that derives its strength from its essential convictions, a hope that is manifested in the desire to defend freedom above all else.

THE SECOND TERM America's Choice Can Bush reshape policy and politics like Lincoln and FDR did? BY MICHAEL BARONE Saturday, November 6, 2004 12:01 a.m. EST opinionjournal.com We have just come through a historic election. In 1864, a year of hundreds of thousands of Union casualties, voters in the 25 of 36 states that voted that year re-elected Abraham Lincoln by a popular vote margin of 55% to 45%. In 1944, another year of hundreds of thousands of American casualties, voters in 48 states re-elected Franklin D. Roosevelt by a partisan majority of 53% to 46%. The margin would have been greater if URL:Republicans and Southern Democrats in Congress had acted to enable millions of servicemen to vote. This year, after two years in which we have suffered a thousand deaths and several thousand injuries, Americans voted by what now appears to be a 51% to 48% majority for George W. Bush. That majority may be increased if the military votes are counted, contrary to what Democrats attempted to do in Florida in 2000 and what Pennsylvania's Gov. Ed Rendell has been doing this year.
