so this is what america is prepared to do. taking action against immediate threats while pursuing a world in which the need for such action is diminished. the united states will never shy away from defending our interests, but we will also not shy away from the promise of this institution and its universal declaration of human rights. the notion that peace is not merely the absence of war, but the presence of a better life. i realize that america's critics will be quick to point out that at times we too have failed to live up to our ideals. that america has plenty of problems within its own borders. this is true. in a summer marked by instability in the middle east and eastern europe, i know the world also took notice of the small american city of ferguson, missouri, where a young man was killed and a community was divided. so, yes, we have our own racial and ethnic tensions, and like every country, we continue to wrestle with how to reconcile the vast changes by greater diversity with the traditions that we hold dear. but we
