奥巴马说:“回忆起我们的先辈打败法西斯主义和共产主义,不只是靠导弹和坦克,而是靠坚强的联盟和持久的信念。他们懂得,光靠我们自己的武力是不能保护我们的,我们也不能随心所欲地使用武力。相反,他们懂得,我们的武力只有谨慎使用才能得到增长,我们的安全要得到保障,就要靠我们事业的正义性、要靠我们的示范力量、要靠我们行事的人性力量和自我克制力。”(Recall that earlier generations faced down fascism and communism 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.)
