"The world still offers abundant challenges to our security and our ideals. But it is a world far more hospitable to our founding convictions than it was when America began to lead it. At the end of the cold war, Americans took time to congratulate ourselves for leading the world through a dangerous time. But we had yet to remember that we had a duty to move on and begin building a better one."
- John McCain, "Worth the Fighting For" (p 296)
