We must confront the privileged elite who have destroyed a large part of the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As a world leader, America must be prepared to confront any challenge.
We must recognize that as the dominant power in the world we have a special responsibility. In addition to protecting our national interests, we must take the leadership in protecting the common interests of humanity.
We must stop posing as victims of the West and behaving negatively towards the West. We must participate with the West on an equal footing in the reconstruction of the world.
Addressing global resentment cannot be put off. If we do not learn to use our predominant power with great restraint, we will antagonize the world.
We must join with the tens of millions all over the world who see in peace our most sacred responsibility.
We have to knock down the barriers erected by greed, special interests, powerful forces.
Well before September 11, it was understood that with modern technology, the rich and powerful will lose their near monopoly of the means of violence and can expect to suffer atrocities on home soil.
We have it in our power to begin the world over again.
We have to deal with the world as we find it. The world of what it takes to get this done.
You can't destroy America by destroying our elite. Think about America's elite. Think about it down through history. Destroy our elite, and about half the time, you're doing us a favor.
