engagement is not an end in international order we seek is one that can resolve the challenges of our times –countering violent extremism and insurgency。stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and securing nuclear materials。bating a changing climate and sustaining global growth。helping countries feed themselves and care for their sick。preventing conflict and healing we are successful in these tasks, that will lessen conflicts around the will be supportive of our efforts by our military to secure our than anything else, though, our success will be claimed by who we are as a is more important than ever, given the nature of the challenges that we campaign to disrupt, dismantle, and to defeat al Qaeda is part of an international effort that is necessary and this is a different kind of will be no simple moment of surrender to mark the journey’s endno armistice, no banner we have had more success in eliminating al Qaeda leaders in recent months than in recent years, they will continue to recruit, and plot, and exploit our open see that in bombs that go off in Kabul and see it in attempts to blow up an airliner over Detroit or an SUV in Times Square, even as these failed attacks show that pressure on networks like al Qaeda is forcing them to rely on terrorists with less time and space to see the potential duration of this struggle in al Qaeda’s gross distortions of Islam, their disrespect for human life, and their attempt to prey upon fear and hatred and the threat will not go away soon, but let’s be clear: Al Qaeda and its affiliates are small men on the wrong side of lead no lead no need not give in to fear every time a terrorist tries to scare should not discard our freedoms because extremists try to exploit cannot succumb to division because others try to drive us are the United States of America.(Applause.)We are the United States of America, and we have repaired our union, and faced down fascism, and outlasted ’ve gone through turmoil, we’ve gone through Civil War, and we have e out strongerand we will do so once more.(Applause.)And I know this to be true because I see the strength and resilience of the American want to scare Yorkers just go about their lives unafraid.(Applause.)Extremists want a war between America and Islam, but Muslims are part of our national life, including those who serve in our United States Army.(Applause.)Adversaries want to divide us, but we are united by our support for yousoldiers who send a clear message that this country is both the land of the free and the home of the brave.(Applause.)You know, in an age of instant access to information, a lot of cynicism in the news, it’s easy to lose perspective in a flood of pictures and the swirl of political and influence can seem to ebb and and grand plans can be deemed won or lost day to day, even hour to we experience the immediacy of the image of a suffering child or the boasts of a prideful dictator, it’s easy to give in to the belief sometimes that human progress has stalledthat events are beyond our control, that change is not this nation was founded upon a different believe, “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”(Applause.)And that truth has bound us together, a nation populated by people from around the globe, enduring hardship and achieving greatness as one that belief is as true today as it was 200 years is a belief that has been claimed by people of every race and religion in every region of the anybody doubt that this belief will be any less trueany less powerfultwo years, two decades, or even two centuries from now?And so a fundamental part of our strategy for our security has to be America’s support for those universal rights that formed the creed of our we will promote these values above all by living themthrough our fidelity to the rule of law and our Constitution, even when it’s hard。even when we’re being attacked。even when we’re in the midst of we will mit ourselves to forever pursuing a more perfect with our friends and allies, America will always seek a world that extends these rights so that when an individual is being silenced, we aim to be her ideas are suppressed, we provide space for open democratic institutions take hold, we add a wind at their humanitarian disaster strikes, we extend a human dignity is denied, America opposes poverty and is a source of is who we is what we do so with no understand change doesn’t e understand that neither America nor any nation can dictate every oute beyond its know that a world of mortal men and women will never be rid of oppression or we can do, what we must do, is work and reach and fight for the world that we seekall of us, those in uniform and those who are in preparing for today, I turned to the worldto the words of Oliver Wendell reflecting on his Civil War experience, he said, and I quote, “To fight out a war you must believe in something and want something with all your must you do to carry anything else to an end worth reaching.” Holmes went on, “More than that, you must be willing to mit yourself to a course, perhaps a long and hard one, without being able to foresee exactly where you will e out.”America does not fight for the sake of abhor one who has never experienced the field of battleand I say that with humility, knowing, as General MacArthur said, “the soldier above all others prays for peace”we fight because we fight to keep our families and munities fight for the security of our allies and partners, because America believes that we will be safer when our friends are safer。that we will be stronger when the world is more cadets, a long and hard road awaits
