America has a critical role to play as the most powerful member of the world community.

Winning the war on terrorism will also require a level of moral clarity that can provide a vision for struggling people and nations everywhere.

I'm concerned the clock is ticking, and the danger to the American people is still very present.

Terrific. Now to win a larceny trial all we have to do is prove how the universe ends.

It is now conventional wisdom that Americans do not care why we went to war in Iraq, that it is enough that the world is better off without Saddam Hussein.

Notwithstanding these setbacks, the dream of a beautiful American orchestra goes on, and I share Dr. King's faith that each year we move inexorably closer to a magnificent opening night.

So let us call genocide, genocide. Let us not minimize the deliberate murder of 1.5 million people. Let us have a moral victory that can shine as a light to all nations.
