President Bush speech in Warsaw
===============================
Mr. President, thank you very much for your gracious
hospitality that you and your wife have shown Laura and me.
Mr. Prime Minister, members of the government, distinguished
members of the clergy, distinguished citizens from this
important friend of America, students, Mr. Rector,
thank you very much for your warm greeting.
It''s a great honor for me to visit this great city, a city that breathes
with confidence, creativity and success of modern Poland. Like all nations,
Poland still faces challenges, but I am confident you''ll meet them with the
same optimistic spirit a visitor feels on Warsaw streets and sees in the
city''s fast-changing skyline.
We find evidence of this energy and enterprise surrounding us right now in
this magnificent building and, you can hear it in the air.
Today''s own - Poland''s orchestra called Goilats (ph)...
(LAUGHTER)
... is telling the world, "On that wheat field, I''m going to build my San
Francisco. Over that molehill, I''m going to build my bank."
(APPLAUSE)
Americans recognize that kind of optimism and ambition because we share it.
We are linked to Poland by culture and heritage, kinship and common values.
Polish glassmakers built and operated the new world''s first factory in
Jamestown, Virginia in 1608.
Seeking the right to vote, those same Poles also staged the new world''s
first labor strike. They succeeded. It seems the Poles have been keeping the
world honest for a long period of time. Some of the most courageous moments
of the 20th century took place in this nation. Here in 1943, the world saw
the heroic effort and revolt of the Warsaw Ghetto; a year later, the 63 days
of the Warsaw uprising and then the reduction of this city to rubble because
it chose to resist evil.
Here communism was humbled by the largest citizens'' movement in history, and
by the iron purpose and moral vision of a single man, Pope John Paul II.
Here Polish workers led by an electrician from Gdansk made the sparks that
would electrify half a continent. Poland revealed to the world that its
Soviet rulers, however brutal and powerful, were ultimately defenseless
against determined men and women armed only with their conscience and their
faith.
Here you have proven that communism need not be followed by chaos, that
great oppression can end in true reconciliation, and that the promise of
freedom is stronger than the habit of fear.
In all these events, we have seen the character of the Polish people and the
hand of God in your history. Modern Poland is just beginning to contribute
to the wealth of Europe, yet for decades you have contributed to Europe''s
soul and spiritual strength. And all who believe in the power of conscience
and culture are in your debt.
Today, I have come to the center of Europe to speak of the future of Europe.
Some still call this the East, but Warsaw is closer to Ireland than it is to
the Urals. And it is time to put talk of East and West behind us.
Yalta did not ratify a natural divide; it divided a living civilization. The
partition of Europe was not a fact of geography; it was an act of violence.
And wise leaders for decades have found the hope of European peace in the
hope of greater unity.
In the same speech that described an iron curtain, Winston Churchill called
for a new unity in Europe from which no nation should be permanently
outcast.
Consider how far we have come since that speech. Through trenches and shell
fire, through death camps and bombed-out cities, through gulags and food
lines, men and women have dreamed of what my father called a Europe whole
and free.
This free Europe is no longer a dream; it is the Europe that is rising
around us. It is the work that you and I are called on to complete. We can
build an open Europe, a Europe without Hitler and Stalin, without Brezhnev
and Honecker and Ceausescu and, yes, without Milosevic.
Our goal is to erase the false lines. Our goal is to replace the false lines
that have divided Europe for too long. The future of every European nation
must be determined by the progress of internal reform, not the interests of
outside powers.
Every European nation that struggles toward democracy and free markets and a
strong civic culture must be welcomed into Europe''s home. All of Europe''s
new democracies, from the Baltic to the Black Sea and all that lie between,
should have the same chance for security and freedom and the same chance to
join the institutions of Europe as Europe''s old democracies have.
I believe in NATO membership for all of Europe''s democracies that seek it
and are ready to share the responsibility that NATO brings.
(APPLAUSE)
The question of when may be still up for debate within NATO.
The question of whether should not be. As we plan to enlarge NATO, no nation
should be used as a pawn in the agendas of others. We will not trade away
the faith of free European peoples
