Wow I could spend all afternoon on this one.Loads of stuff here.
This speech is magnificent.
I stand before you as a representative of the American People, to deliver a message of friendship and hope. That is why I chose to make my first foreign visit a trip to the heart of the Muslim world, to the nation that serves as custodian of the two holiest sites in the Islamic Faith. ...Our goal is a coalition of nations who share the aim of stamping out extremism and providing our children a hopeful future that does honor to God. ...
America is a sovereign nation and our first priority is always the safety and security of our citizens. We are not here to lecturewe are not here to tell other people how to live, what to do, who to be, or how to worship. Instead, we are here to offer partnership based on shared interests and values to pursue a better future for us all.
Here at this summit we will discuss many interests we share together. But above all we must be united in pursuing the one goal that transcends every other consideration. That goal is to meet historys great testto conquer extremism and vanquish the forces of terrorism. ...
But, in sheer numbers, the deadliest toll has been exacted on the innocent people of Arab, Muslim and Middle Eastern nations. They have borne the brunt of the killings and the worst of the destruction in this wave of fanatical violence. ...
The true toll of ISIS, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, and so many others, must be counted not only in the number of dead. It must also be counted in generations of vanished dreams. ...
This region should not be a place from which refugees flee, but to which newcomers flock. ...
But the nations of the Middle East cannot wait for American power to crush this enemy for them. The nations of the Middle East will have to decide what kind of future they want for themselves, for their countries, and for their children.
It is a choice between two futures and it is a choice America CANNOT make for you.
