Nor
is
the
question
before
us
whether
the
market
is
a
force
for
good
or
ill.
Its
power
to
generate
wealth
and
expand
freedom
is
unmatched，but
this
crisis
has
reminded
us
that
without
a
watchful
eye，the
market
can
spin
out
of
control-and
that
a
nation
cannot
prosper
long
when
it
favors
only
the
prosperous.
The
success
of
our
economy
has
always
depended
not
just
on
the
size
of
our
Gross
Domestic
Product，but
on
the
reach
of
our
prosperity;on
our
ability
to
extend
opportunity
to
every
willing
heart-not
out
of
charity，but
because
it
is
the
surest
route
to
our
common
good.
As
for
our
common
defense，we
reject
as
false
the
choice
between
our
safety
and
our
ideals.
Our
Founding
Fathers，faced
with
perils
we
can
scarcely
imagine，drafted
a
charter
to
assure
the
rule
of
law
and
the
rights
of
man，a
charter
expanded
by
the
blood
of
generations.
Those
ideals
still
light
the
world，and
we
will
not
give
them
up
for
expedience’s
sake.
And
so
to
all
other
people
and
governments
who
are
watching
today，from
the
grandest
capitals
to
the
small
village
where
my
father
was
born:know
that
America
is
a
friend
of
each
nation
and
every
man，woman，and
child
who
seeks
a
future
of
peace
and
dignity，and
that
we
are
ready
to
lead
once
more.
Recall
that
earlier
generations
faced
down
fascism
not
just
with
missiles
and
tanks，but
with
sturdy
alliances
and
enduring
convictions.
They
understood
that
our
power
alone
cannot
protect
us，nor
does
it
entitle
us
to
do
as
we
please.
Instead，they
knew
that
our
power
grows
through
its
prudent
use;our
security
emanates
from
the
justness
of
our
cause，the
force
of
our
example，the
tempering
qualities
of
humility
and
restraint.
We
are
the
keepers
of
this
legacy.
Guided
by
these
principles
once
more，we
can
meet
those
new
threats
that
demand
even
greater
effort-even
greater
cooperation
and
understanding
between
nations.
We
will
begin
to
responsibly
leave
Iraq
to
its
people，and
forge
a
hard-earned
peace
in
Afghanistan.
With
old
friends
and
former
foes，we
