• Obama speaks about providing a visionary leadership and the need to renew the US global
leadership position through proper foreign policy, a renewed military along with a need to confront
the proliferation of the nuclear arsenal. The question of nuclear proliferation is "the most urgent
threat to the security of America and the world."

 

• "This century's threats are at least as dangerous as and in some ways more complex than those we
have confronted in the past. They come from weapons that can kill on a mass scale and from global
terrorists who respond to alienation or perceived injustice with murderous nihilism. They come from
rogue states allied to terrorists and from rising powers that could challenge both America and the
international foundation of liberal democracy. They come from weak states that cannot control their
territory or provide for their people. And they come from a warming planet that will spur new
diseases, spawn more devastating natural disasters, and catalyze deadly conflicts."



• "After Iraq, we may be tempted to turn inward. That would be a mistake. The American moment is
not over, but it must be seized anew. We must bring the war to a responsible end and then renew our
leadership -- military, diplomatic, moral -- to confront new threats and capitalize on new
opportunities. America cannot meet this century's challenges alone; the world cannot meet them
without America."



• Barack Obama's most important foreign policy is with respect to the question of Iraq. Obama
envisages a regional conference involving Iran and Syria as part of the strategy to find an ultimate
solution to the Iraq question.
