Reply #8: A world without nuclear weapons.

[Heidi]

We need not stand by and watch the spread of the deadly atom. We must reduce the loose nukes. We must seek the peace of a world without nuclear weapons.

This is the moment when every nation in Europe must have the chance to choose its own tomorrow. We need a strong European Union. We must reject the Cold War mindset of the past -- seek a partnership that extends across this entire continent.

This is the moment when we must build on wealth that opens markets and share its benefits more equitably. We will not be able to sustain this growth if it favors the few and not the many.

This is the moment for trade that is free and fair for all. We must help answer the call for a new dawn in the Middle East.

Our country must sent a direct message to Iran that it must abandon its nuclear ambitions, to the Israelis and Palestinians who seek and secure and lasting peace.

This is the moment when the world must support the millions of Iraquis . . . and finally bring this war to a close.

(Chants of OBAMA, OBAMA)

This is the moment when we must come together to save this planet . . . Let us resolve that all nations, including my own, will act with the same seriousness that we reduce ... the carbon we send into our atmosphere.

This is the moment to give our children back their future. This is the moment to stand as one. This is the moment when we must give hope to those left behind in a globalized world.

Sixty years ago, the planes that flew over Berlin did not drop bombs -- they delivered coal and candy and food. Those pilots won hearts, minds, love and loyalty and trust . . . Now, the world will watch what we do here, what we do with this moment, when we extend our hand to the forgotten people who yearn for dignity and security . . . when we stand for the human rights ... when we give meaning to the words, "NEVER AGAIN..." will we acknowledge that there is no more powerfule xample than the one each of our nations projects to the world: when we reject torture and stand for rule of law, when we welcome immigrants from different nations ... keep the promise of equality and opportunity for all of our people.

People of Berlin, people of the world, this is our moment. This is our time. I know my coutnry has not perfected itself. At times we struggle to keep the promise of liberty and equality of all people. I also know how much I love America. I know that for more than two centuries, we have strived at great cost and sacrifice to form a new perfect union, to seek with other nations and more perfect world. Every point of view is expressed in our public squsares. What drew my father to American shores is a set of ideals that speak to ideals of all people. These are the aspirations that join the fates of all nations. These aspirations are bigger than anything that drives us apart.

It is because of these aspirations that all free people everywhere became citizens of Berlin. It is in pursuit of these aspirations that people of a new generation must make our mark on the world.

I come before you to say: we are heirs to a struggle for freedom... Let us remember this history and answer our destiny and remake the world once again.

Thank you, Berlin.

Thank you.
