The speech was precisely tuned to the true spirit of the Nobel Peace Prize:  How can we achieve peace in today's world?  As the President pointed out, peace is a balance between diplomacy and defense capability.

Calling upon the world to share the burden of maintaining this fine balance, keeping in mind at all times the ultimate goal is to achieve peace, he urged support by all nations to the common goals of defending and establishing human rights worldwide.

When diplomacy fails to achieve the goal, he urged the nations to commit themselves to assisting the effort to achieve the fragile state of peace.

United, we will succeed; divided we will fail, was the essential message.  We are no longer separate nations, but a global community that needs to unite to achieve common goals of peace and protection of people worldwide.

A great speech, appropriate and apropos to the state of the world today.  We need to work together to combat terrorism and to free peace-loving people around the world from violence and destruction.

It is my hope that the nations will commit themselves to working together to eradicate the scourge of terrorism, sectarian violence and extremist atrocities as President Obama urged.  Thank you, Mr. President, for rising to the occasion, and meeting the challenge with outstanding oratory skill.
