:08:13
The dead remember our indifference.
:08:17
The dead remember our silence.
:08:20
I came here tonight
to be congratulated.
:08:25
But today when I visited
the Red Cross camps...
:08:27
overwhelmed by the flood of refugees...
:08:31
fleeing from the horror
of Kazakhstan...
:08:36
I realized I don't deserve
to be congratulated, none of us do.
:08:40
- What's he doing?
- That's not the speech.
:08:43
The truth is...
:08:45
we acted too late.
:08:48
Only when our own national security
was threatened did we act.
:08:56
Radek's regime murdered over 200,000
men, women and children...
:09:01
and we watched it on TV.
:09:03
We let it happen.
People were being slaughtered...
:09:07
for over a year.
:09:10
We issued economic sanctions and hid
behind the rhetoric of diplomacy.
:09:16
How dare we?
:09:17
The dead remember.
:09:20
Real peace...
:09:22
is not just the absence of conflict,
it's the presence of justice.
:09:30
Tonight I come to you with a pledge
to change America's policy.
:09:34
Never again...
:09:36
will I allow
our political self-interest...
:09:41
to deter us from doing what we know
to be morally right.
:09:45
Atrocity and terror
are not political weapons.
:09:49
And to those who would use them...
:09:53
your day is over.
:09:57
We will never negotiate.
