『新時代の責任』
日本のマスコミが、オバマ大統領の就任演説に与えた最大公約数は、「新時代の責任」であろうか。就任演説には、米国民と世界に向けて、オバマ大統領が話しておきたいことの全てが、含まれていたように、藻緯羅には思われた。藻緯羅が、気に入った部分は...===・On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.・The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works・And those of us who manage the public's dollars will be held to account - to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day - because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.・To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect.・To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict, or blame their society's ills on the West - know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy.・To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.・It is the firefighter's courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent's willingness to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate.===原文は、http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/より。
