President Obama: "It is absolutely true that in the 21st century, American isolationism is not an option. . . . But to say that we have an interest in pursuing peace and freedom beyond our borders is not to say that every problem has a military solution." "American influence is always stronger when we lead by example...We can't call on others to make commitments to combat climate change if so many of our political leaders deny that it is taking place."
