6. "What kind of peace do I mean and what kind of peace do we seek?
Edited on Sat Sep-25-04 11:53 PM by Minstrel Boy
NOT A PAX AMERICANA enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace; the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living. The kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children. Not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women. Not merely peace in our time, but peace for all time."
His American University speech is the high water mark of presidential rhetoric, and perhaps of the old Republic.
