build a village, and bringAmericaamp。 because ten percent is exactly tentimesgreater than what we do invest in our efforts to protect America around theworld. In fact, our whole foreign policybudget is just over one percent of our national about it a littlebit. Over one percent, a little bit more, funds all of our civilian andforeignaffairs efforts amp。 (laughter) amp。d take ten percent in aheartbeat, folks amp。 Most pegged it at 25 percent of our national budget, and theythought it ought to bepared way back to ten percent of our national me tell you, would that that weretrue. Iamp。s why I wanted to have thisconversationwith you today, which I hope is a conversation that extends well beyondtheborders of Charlottesville, well beyond this university, to all Americans. When I talk about a smallinvestment in foreign policy in the United States, I mean it. Notso long ago,someone polled the American people and asked, “。s why foundingthisuniversity is among the few acplishments that Jefferson listed on hisepitaph that he wrotefor himself. To him, this place and its goal was a biggerpart of his legacy than serving asSecretary of State or even as President,neither of which made the cut. Just as Jefferson understood thatwe need to invest in education in order to produce goodcitizens, I joinPresident Obama today in asserting with urgency that our citizenry deservesastrong foreign policy to protect our interests in the world. A wise investmentin foreign policycan yield for a nation the same return that education doesfor a student. And no investmentthat we make that is as small as thisinvestment puts forward such a sizeable benefit forourselves and for ourfellow citizens of the world. Thatamp。t be a strong country without investingin thekind of education that empowers us to be good citizens. Thatamp。t thinkingjust about your getting a degree and a job. Itwas about something believed we couldnamp。 think for a moment about what that means. Why do you spend the many daysandthe borrowed dollars it takes to earn an education here, or anywhere? Whydid Jefferson wantthis institution to remain public and accessible, not justto Virginians but as a destinationfrom everywhere? I know that he wasnamp。 Today, those of you who studyhere and who teach here, along with the taxpayers,contributors, and parentswho believe in your potential, you are all investing in Mr. Jeffersonamp。 studies of scienceand space, of flora, fauna, andphilosophy. He built this university in the image of what he called”。s also centralto thespirit of our nation. As you well know, and reminded you a moment ago, our first Secretary of Statefounded thisgreat university. Students of his day, when he did, could basically only studylaw ormedicine or religion. That was about it. But Thomas Jefferson had avision, and he believed thatthe American people needed a public place to learna diversity of disciplines amp。s budget. Our sense of sharedresponsibility, that we care aboutsomething bigger than ourselves, isabsolutely central to the spirit of this school. Itamp。ll never meet. For allthat we have gained in the 21stcentury, we have lost the luxury of just looking , we look outand we see a new field of petitors. I think it gives us much reason it also gives us many more rivals determined to create jobs andopportunities fortheir own people, a voracious marketplace that sometimesforgets morality and values. I know that some of you and manyacross the country wish that globalization would just goaway, or you wistfullyremember easier times. But, my friends, no politician, no matter howpowerful,can put this genie back in the bottle. So our challenge is to tame the worstimpulsesof globalization even as we harness its ability to spread informationand possibility, to offereven the most remote place on Earth the same choicesthat have made us strong and free. So before I leave this weekend tolisten to our allies and partners next week throughoutEurope and the MiddleEast, and in the ing months across Asia, Africa, and the Americas, Iwantedto first talk with you about the challenge that we face here at home, becauseourengagement with the rest of the world begins by making some important choicestogether, andparticularly about our nationamp。m here because our lives asAmericans are more intertwined than ever before with the livesof people inparts of the world that we may have never visited. In the global challengesofdiplomacy, development, economic security, environmental security, you willfeel our successor failure just as strongly as those people in those othercountries that youamp。m here today. Iamp。swhy Iamp。ll be able to send ourgraduates into a thriving workforce. Thatamp。llbe pelled to send our troops to another battle, butwhether weamp。s not justabout whether weamp。s important not just in termsof thethreats that we face, but the products that we buy, the goods that we sell, andtheopportunity that we provide for economic growth and vitality. Itamp。they alsocreate a current right here in America. How we conduct our foreignpolicy matters more thanever before to our everyday lives, to theopportunities of all those students I met standingoutside, whatever year theyare here, thinking about the future.
