"As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between
our safety and our ideals. Our founding fathers ... our found fathers,
faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure
the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of
generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give
them up for expedience's sake. And so to all the other peoples and
governments who are watching today, from the grandest capitals to the
small village where my father was born: know that America is a friend of
each nation and every man, woman, and child who seeks a future of peace
and dignity, and that we are ready to lead once more."-President
Barack Obama</html>
