the turkish national identity was ethnically defined. anatolian and sunni muslim the former hard core of the ottoman empire. mustafa kemal wanted to create a modern secular state that put the past behind but just as in the previous century religious identity continued to inform national identity. for the very first time is emerging in the modern era a muslim state that can tell christian states where to stop which it had done that was the achievement of attitude so i think for the republicans the turkish national pride in the consolidation of the national consciousness is bound up from the start with this sense of having done something that the ottomans for several centuries had been able to do which is to hold western power. at the same time as becoming west. after the first world war the nation state asserted itself but what was to be done about minority ethnic groups. greece and the newly established turkish republic opted for a radical solution. starting in one thousand nine hundred twenty four five hundred thousand muslims were expe

to hold that line as a choice free nations have always had to make. we have learned together the high cost of weakness and the high stakes of its defense. america's men and women in uniform have given their lives in the fight against nazis, imperialism, communism, and terrorism. america does not seek conflict or confrontation, but we will never run from it. history is filled with discarded regimes that have foolishly tested america's resolve. anyone who doubts the strength or determination of the united states should look to our past and you will doubt it no longer. we will not permit america or our allies to be blackmailed or attacked. we will not allow american cities to be threatened with destruction. we will not be intimidated. and we will not let the worst atrocities in history be repeated here on this ground we fought and died so hard to secure.

but i hope that you enjoy the national parks and, of course, when we think about the national parks, we must think of president abraham lincoln, who made a condition of california statehood in 1864 the maintenance and preservation of yosemite as a national park by the state. and during my administration, when we discovered that the california parks commission was not living up to the responsibility of maintaining that national park, we refedderalized much of the park and expanded the park. a park i visited with john muir during my administration in 1903. there is a great deal of my administration, of course, that has its origin during the lincoln administration. the railroad act, settling of the west, and my own adventures to the dakota territory would not have occurred without the great progressive legislation and, of course, many are the north dakota farmers still to this day come tell me that they've got on their homestead deed my signature. but that would not have occurred without the homestead act passed during the lincoln administration. when i was your president, there wasn't

the economy of this nation was demolished. but as the entire world knows, over the next two generations, something miraculous happened on the southern half of this peninsula. family by family, city by city, the people of south korea built this country into what is today one of the great nations of the world, and i congratulate you.

the national flood insurance program. the government accountability office has labeled the nfip a high risk program, mainly because policyholders often pay premiums well below the actual risk of flooding on their properties. h.r. 2874 requires fema to conduct an annual actuarial review of the status of the nfip. allow fema to adjust rates appropriately and help maintain the programs' financial stability. currently there are 4.92 million nfip policies providing 1.323 trillion in coverage to americans. many of these properties are what this bill defines as multiple loss properties where nfip claims have been filed repeatedly. this bill requires fema to raise premiums on multiple loss properties by 15% annually if the premiums do not reflect the full risk. this is just another step toward fema improving the financial stability of the nfip. often with the federal government there are changes and agreements made behind closed doors with little or no public comment. h.r. 2874 requires fema to publish and explain and hold public

obama's national security advisor acknowledged just a few weeks ago. that's why this speech in south korea is so important. i think we could effectively take out at least the sites we know involved in the missile side, the nuclear side. the real problem, however we were to do that, the real problem is the north korean terrorist threat to retaliate by attacking the suburbs of seoul, south korea. any use against the north korean nuclear program would have to also try and take out that retaliatory capability. nobody wants this to come through military force, but the president very clear at the united nations in september when he said with respect to north korea, the nuclear realization is the only way forward. >> sean: we are awaiting the president's address, the president has in fact as she is in the building, it will be any moment now. i want to talk about the china component to all of this. geopolitically this is their region of the world, doctor. i know that the president has said, and it was obvious through the meetings that went on, supposed to be a
