“Occupation”

Obama uses plain English to describe the Israeli control of the West Bank. He also attempts to re-balance international relations in the wake of the Cheney era, insisting that from now on, the US will not be a human rights abuser, but equally insisting that America cannot solve the world's problems alone:

"Those who used to chastise America for acting alone in the world cannot now stand by and wait for America to solve the world's problems alone. We have sought — in word and deed — a new era of engagement with the world. Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges."
