The Way Out

"Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."
J.F. Kennedy January 20, 1961. In his inaugural address
He also asked the nations of the world to join together to fight what he called the "common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself." In closing, he expanded on his desire for greater internationalism: "Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you."
