Ladies and Gentlemen, The Middle East and North Africa has everything for a prosperous future. It also has the seeds of a future of misery and turmoil. We have chosen prosperity. Help us build it. The only common enemies we have, Muslim, Christian and Jew alike, is poverty, ignorance, intolerance and a short-sighted grasp of our future.
Few things are worthy of an unconditional commitment.
A peace that is founded on justice and liberty deserves such a commitment, a prosperity that is shared and sustainable deserves such a commitment . We are reaching today for our future. Together let us not lose sight of it. Together let us build it, build a peace that is just, build a prosperity that is for all. For it shall not be said, centuries from today, that our countries had peace within their grasp and squandered it.
