34. 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.

Fascism and communism are known well as the opposite of American Liberalism. Some countries remain as the obstacle for America for expanding their hegemony
because they hold those strict ideologies. So often, the friction happens between American Liberalism and Fascism ends with military intervention.
35. We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people and forge a hard- earned peace in Afghanistan. 73, XIX, a
36. With old friends and former foes, well work tirelessly to lessen the

74, XIX, a Then, he says that he will also consider the military force delivered to Iraq and put
back the peace in Afghanistan while it is also stated that U.S. will keep fighting the nuclear threat and becoming the peace keeper of the world.
In the end of twentieth paragraph, he strongly states that the way American is living cannot be blamed and America will conquer any party that condemns it.
37. We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its
defense. 75, XX, a
38. And for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and
slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken -- you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat
you. 76, XX, a
The very confident America in respecting diversity is shown in the twenty first paragraph. Obama says that the blend of multicultural in America is the strength
of the country. America is called to be the home for Christians, and Muslims, Jews, and Hindus and most prominently he says that America welcomes the non-
believers. He concerns about the pluralism and knows that raising this issue will
set him in a neutral position. 39. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end
of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and
more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the
world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.
79, XXI, a
Obama spreads optimism by saying ―that the old hatred shall someday pass‖. It is
more likely to say that the obstacle in expanding the hegemony of America is overcome. Obama describes how America is shaped by diversity among lines of
tribes. He tells the audience as well that America is ready for making possible the peace of the world based on this fact.
In the twenty second paragraph, Obama addresses the Muslim words for the realization of co-working. He talks about mutual interest and mutual respect
between U.S.A and the Muslim countries which sounds illusive. This is just another way for him in representing himself as the ethical leader. On the contrary,
in the next sentence, he addresses some leaders who are attributed with the will of creating conflict to not blame the West upon their society‘s ills. He even sets the
standard of judgment for them. Obama once again shows that America holds the power to fight those who do not act for the favor of America.
40. To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect
. 80, XXII, a
41. To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their societys ills on the West, know that your people will judge you
on what you can build, not what you destroy. 81, XXII, a
In the twenty third paragraph, Obama implicitly claims that America has built the power of making peace and that is how other nations will judge America.
Obama sees that Action will determine the status of the doers. Still in same theme, in the twenty second paragraph, Obama mentions the corruptor and deceiver as
ones that do not share the history of the nation but America will show cooperation if they show the will for it first.
42. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the
silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history, but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.
82, XXIII, a
By saying so, Obama puts America in the higher position than other nations. He
shows some kind of supremacy. It means that other nation must be the first to
move and to ask for peace from America. This shows the arrogance of the America in dealing with others nations. Thinking and behaving as superior,
Obama would like to coerce other country when it seems not benefit America. Obama also puts a consideration to the third world countries that he refers as poor
nation. He expresses that America will consider the plenty use of the world‘s resources by the Americans and want to take action for helping the availability of
resources for other countries.
43. To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved
bodies and feed hungry minds. 83, XXIII, a
44. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can
no longer afford indifference to the suffering outside our borders, nor
can we consume the worlds resources without regard to effect. 84, XXIII, a
