"We Have Made You Into Nations and Tribes so That You May Know One Another"

"The issues that I have described will not be easy to address. But we have a responsibility to join together on behalf of the world we seek--a world where extremists no longer threaten our people, and American troops have come home; a world where Israelis and Palestinians are each secure in a state of their own, and nuclear energy is used for peaceful purposes; a world where governments serve their citizens, and the rights of all God's children are respected. Those are mutual interests. That is the world we seek. But we can only achieve it together."
