The most presidential lorem ipsum in history.
And just as Lieutenant Kerry did not hesitate to risk his life to protect the men who served with him in Vietnam, President Kerry will not hesitate one moment to use our military might to keep America safe and secure. We will all have to make concessions to achieve this. That is one option. More recently, tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a Cold War in which Muslim-majority countries were too often treated as proxies without regard to their own aspirations. Islam is not part of the problem in combating violent extremism - it is an important part of promoting peace.
And John Kerry believes that in a dangerous world war must be an option sometimes, but it should never be the first option. We will help Iraq train its Security Forces and develop its economy. And I want to particularly say this to young people of every faith, in every country - you, more than anyone, have the ability to remake this world.
And they want that choice. John Kerry believes in energy independence, so we aren't held hostage to the profits of oil companies, or the sabotage of foreign oil fields. Since the Islamic Revolution, Iran has played a role in acts of hostage-taking and violence against U.S.
Born into poverty? Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps - even if you don't have boots. It's a promise that says each of us has the freedom to make of our own lives what we will, but that we also have the obligation to treat each other with dignity and respect. I've seen it in Illinois, when we provided health care to more children and moved more families from welfare to work. government has gone to court to protect the right of women and girls to wear the hijab, and to punish those who would deny it.
So when they are told to bus their children to a school across town; when they hear that an African American is getting an advantage in landing a good job or a spot in a good college because of an injustice that they themselves never committed; when they're told that their fears about crime in urban neighborhoods are somehow prejudiced, resentment builds over time. And when I hear a woman talk about the difficulties of starting her own business, I think about my grandmother, who worked her way up from the secretarial pool to middle-management, despite years of being passed over for promotions because she was a woman.
Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless the United States of America.
