People of the free world, welcome.
Comrades, I'm both sad and happy in telling this to you. We have heard the message and we will answer you, people of Belarus . 88% of this nation wants the same: They want us to bring them democracy. I Am Not Interested in Power. We have also utilized the virtue of persistence, of unwearying patience.... Our sense of community was just as strong as that sense of promise. Neighbors helped each other. There were dry wells and sandstorms to keep you humble, and lifelong friends to take your side, and churches to remind us that every soul is equal in value and equal in need. When I jump over the past to look ahead, I do it intentionally. The time is short! There is no time for fruitless debates. We must act, immediately, thoroughly, and decisively. We have succeeded out of our own free wills in once more inculcating in our people the courage which dares to attempt a task in the face of a world of foes. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow, this ground-- The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here; while it can never forget what they did here. On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics. This progress is a tribute to the brave people of Belarus, and to the efforts of many nations. It is the President's job -- it is the President's job to confront problems, not to pass them on to future Presidents and future generations. I will finish that job. Belarus: You have been putinated! |
