ABSTRACT

For two centuries, we’ve done the hard work of freedom. And, tonight, we lead the world in facing down a threat to decency and humanity.

What is at stake is more than one small country. It is a big idea: a new world order where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind-peace and security, freedom, and the rule of law. Such is a world worthy of our struggle and worthy of our children’s future.
