"A triumphant George Bush has attempted to reach out to the world, insisting that "every civilised country" has a stake in the US-led war on terror.
But he defended his vision of spreading freedom throughout the Middle East, saying it was not "folly" as some global critics have argued.
In his first news conference since winning a second term in office, Mr Bush pledged to "reach out to our friends and allies" around the world.
During his first term he was criticised for sidelining some traditional European allies and alienating the Arab world.
He said: "We are continuing the war on terror and every American has a stake in the outcome of this war.
"Together we will protect the American people. We will persevere until the enemy is defeated."
But he went on: "Every civilised country also has a stake in the outcome of the war.
"I will continue to reach out to our friends and allies, our partners in the EU and Nato."
He said he continued to believe that freedom and democracy were alternatives to "tyranny and terror" around the world.
He said spreading freedom throughout the Middle East was a "central part" of his foreign policy."
