John McCain
Speech
Newberry, SC 12/15/07

TRANSCRIPT:
JOHN MCCAIN: "Many American generations have been called to confront evil. My father and my grandfather fought fascism. My generation fought communism. Now we are summoned to confront the evil of radical Islamic extremism.

"There is no denying it is evil. There is no denying it is evil. [sic] How more evident could it be than the means by which our enemies choose to engage us.

"Their terrorism is not only an assault on our political and economic interests, it is an act of war against our defining ideals. Sacrificing Muslim children in car bombs, beheading a reporter merely because he's Jewish and American and broadcasting the atrocity.

"These are the tactics of people who have sworn to end life and dignity. We are summoned to fight them not only by our just concern for our physical security, but by the responsibility we have always accepted to support and defend values we believe to be universal."
