| On November 2, 58-year-old US President George W. Bush was re-elected to a second term. During the presidential election, he defeated the Democratic Party candidate, 61-year-old Senator John Kerry. The outcome of the vote was influenced by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in the United States - the fight against international terrorism and the war in Iraq were at the center of the election campaign. The inauguration of the American President will take place on January 20, 2005.
