Listening to President Obama's speech at the United Nations today made me feel as though our country was emerging from the dark ages into the 21st Century. The President asked individuals and nations to move beyond their comfort zones of belief, doctrine, culture and religion toward respecting those differences,even as he acknowledged this would not be an easy task.
He renewed Treaties and Agreements made in good faith between ourselves and other nations with whom we share this planet and its resources. Treaties and Agreements that were tossed to the wind by an arrogant belief that this country needed no other country to secure its future. He spoke truth to power when he said just as we have been disliked as a nation because of our posture, so too must the United Nations now find its voice in helping to find solutions to complex problems which it may have avoided in the past.
Today our country regained its balance and a place of importance as we meet the challenges of the 21st Century.
