and after the berlin wall fell, the soviet security buffer collapsed entirely closer to moscow than it ever been since the 18th century, were as the alliances that we in the united states created after world war ii, unthinking of course in particular of nato, were more popular than ever. the newly liberated central and eastern european countries were clamoring to get in but it wasn't just nato. the european union as well became as popular as it had ever been. i think that's the greatest possible testimony to what we created after world war ii. remember also that nato's article v mutual security guarantees were only invoked once in the alliances history. that was after september 11, 2001, when we were attacked. it was her own allies who invoked it in our defense. soviet leader mikhail gorbachev was extremely concerned about nato expanding to russia's borders. he pressed president bush not to do this. he saw the political risk within russia of this perhaps undermining the new democratic forces that he had unleashed. president bill clinton had jew macs logical direction in which he could'

should we see that wave of hope that we felt with mandiba's release from prison, from the berlin wall coming down? should we see that hope that we had as naive and misguided? should windows the last 25 years of global integration as nothing more than a detour from the previous inevitable cycle of history where might makes right and politics is a hostile competition between tribes and races and religions and nations beat in a zero sum game, constantly teetering on the edge of conflict until full-blown war breaks out? is that what we think? let me tell you what i believe. i believe in nelson mandela's vision. i believe in a vision shared by ghandi and king and abraham lincoln. i believe in a vision of equality and justice and freedom and multi-racial democracy built on the premise that all people are created equal and they're endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights.
