different. why should we have to pay for waters we're not used. consumer cellular is different. their rates start as low as $10 a month and no long-term quiet is >> now here are some highlights from the speech. >> i come before you humbled by the responsibility that the american people have placed upon me, mindful of the enormous challenges of our moment in history and determined to act boldly and collectively on behalf of justice and prosperity at home and abroad. like all of you, my responsibility is to act in the interests of my nation and my people a i will never apologize for defending those interests. but it is my deeply held belief that in the year 2009 more than at any point in human history the interests of nations and peoples are shared. in this hall we come from many places but we share a common future. no longer do we have the luxury of indulging our differences to the exclusion of the work that we must do together. because the time has come for the world to move in a new direction. we must embrace a new era of engagement based on mutual interest and mutual response and our work must begin now. we know the future will be forged by deeds and t simply words. speeches alone will not solve our problems. it will take persistent action but make no mistake, this cannot solely be america's endeafer. 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 and now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges. today let me put forward four pillars that i believe are fundamental to the future that we want for our children. nonproliferation and disarmament, the promotion of peace and security, the preservation of our planet and a global environment that advances tonight for all people. the threat of proliferation is growing in scope and complexity. if we fail to act, we will invite nuclear arms races in every region and the prospect of wars and acts of terror on a scale that we can hardly imagine. that brings me to the second pillar for our future, the pursuit of peace. the united nations was born of the belief that the people of the world can live their lives, raise their families and resolve their differences peacefully. and yet we know that in too many parts of the world this ideal remains in abstraction, a distant dream. we can either accept that outcome as inevitable and tolerate constant and crippling conflict or we can recognize that the yearning for peace is universal and reassert our resolve to end conflicts around the world. third, we must recognize in the 21st century there will be no peace unless we take responsibility for the preservation of our planet. the danger posed by climate change cannot be denied. our responsibility to meet it must not be deferred. if we continue down our current course, every member of this assembly will see irreversible changes. development will be devastated by famine. land that human beings have lived on for a millennium will disappear. future generations will look back and wonder why we refuse to act. this leads me to the final pillar that must forify our future, a global economy that advances opportunity for all people. growth will not be sustained or shared unless all nations embrace their responsibilities. and that means that wealthy nations must open their markets to more goods and extend a hand to those with less while informing nt national institutions to give those nations a great are voice. the united states stands ready to begin a new chapter of international cooperation, one that recognizes the rights and responsibilities of all nations. and so with confidce in our cause and with a commitment to our values, we call on all nations to join us in building the future that our people so rich ly deserve. thank you very much. >>
