"America, at its best, is also courageous.
Our national courage has been clear in times of depression and
war, when defending common dangers defined our common good. Now we
must choose if the example of our fathers and mothers will inspire us
or condemn us. We must show courage in a time of blessing by
confronting problems instead of passing them on to future
generations.
We will build our defenses beyond challenge, lest weakness invite
challenge.
We will confront weapons of mass destruction, so that a new
century is spared new horrors. The enemies of liberty and our country
should make no mistake: America remains engaged in the world by
history and by choice, shaping a balance of power that favors
freedom. We will defend our allies and our interests. We will show
purpose without arrogance. We will meet aggression and bad faith with
resolve and strength. And to all nations, we will speak for the
values that gave our nation birth."
