"What kind of peace do I mean and what kind of a peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, and the kind that enables men and nations to grow, and to hope, and build a better life for their children—not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women, not merely peace in our time but peace in all time."

Jack tonight on the Middle East:

"Some peace is going to come into the Middle East. Look for Mr. Obama to make some peace there; perhaps a new country for the Palestinians being carved out with the help of the Jordanians and Egyptians."
