မိတ္ေဆြအျဖစ္လက္ကမ္းဖုိ႔ ေရာက္လာခဲ့တာပါ။ အခုဆုိရင္၊ ရန္ကုန္ၿမဳိ႕မွာ
အေမရိကန္သံအမတ္ႀကီးလည္း ရွိေနပါၿပီ။ ပိတ္ဆုိ႔ဒဏ္ခတ္မႈေတြလည္း
ေလွ်ာ့ခ်ထားၿပီးပါၿပီ။ ျမန္မာႏုိင္ငံမွာ စီးပြားေရးျပန္လည္

ကူညီပါ့မယ္။ ဒါဟာ တကမာၻလုံးဖြံ႔ၿဖိဳးဖို႔အတြက္ အင္အားတရပ္လည္းျဖစ္ေစရပါမယ္။
ဒါေပမဲ့လည္း ဒီခရီးဟာ အခုမွ အစပဲရွိေသးၿပီး၊

Excerpts of President Obama's Speech in Burma
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Above all, I came here because of America’s belief in human dignity.
Over the last several decades, our two countries became strangers. But
today, I can tell you that we always remained hopeful about you – the
people of this country. You gave us hope. And we bore witness to your
courage.
We saw the activists dressed in white visit the families of political
prisoners on Sundays, and monks dressed in saffron protesting peacefully
in the streets. We learned of ordinary people who organized relief
teams to respond to a cyclone, and heard the voices of students and the
beats of hip hop artists projecting the sound of freedom. We came to
know exiles and refugees who never lost touch with their families or
their ancestral home. And we were inspired by the fierce dignity of Daw
Aung San Suu Kyi, as she proved that no human being can truly be
imprisoned if hope burns in your heart.
When I took office as President, I sent a message to those governments
who ruled by fear: “we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench
your fist.” And over the last year and a half, a dramatic transition
has begun, as a dictatorship of five decades has loosened its grip.
Under President Thein Sein, the desire for change has been met by an
agenda for reform. A civilian now leads the government, and a parliament
is asserting itself. The once-outlawed National League for Democracy
stood in an election, and Aung San Suu Kyi is a Member of Parliament.
Hundreds of prisoners of conscience have been released, and forced labor
has been banned. Preliminary cease-fires have been reached with ethnic
armies, and new laws allow for a more open economy.
So today, I have come to keep my promise, and extend the hand of
friendship. America now has an Ambassador in Rangoon, sanctions have
been eased, and we will help rebuild an economy that can offer
opportunity for its people, and serve as an engine of growth for the
world. But this remarkable journey has just begun, and has much further
to go. Reforms launched from the top of society must meet the
aspirations of citizens who form its foundation. The flickers of
progress that we have seen must not be extinguished – they must become a
shining North Star for this entire nation’s people.
*** Instead of being repressed, the right of people to assemble together
must now be fully respected. Instead of being stifled, the veil of
media censorship must continue to be lifted. As you take these steps,
you can draw on your progress. Instead of being ignored, citizens who
protested the construction of the Myitsone dam were heard. Instead of
being outlawed, political parties have been allowed to participate. As
one voter said during the parliamentary elections, “Our parents and
grandparents waited for this, but never saw it.”
To protect the freedom of that voter, those in power must accept
constraints. That is what our American system is designed to do. America
may have the strongest military in the world – but it must submit to
civilian control. As President and Commander-in-Chief, I cannot just
impose my will on our Congress – even though sometimes I wish I could. I
appoint some of our judges, but I cannot tell them how to rule –
because every person in America, from a child living in poverty to the
President – is equal under the law.
That is how you must reach for the future you deserve – a future where a
single prisoner of conscience is one too many, and the law is stronger
than any leader; where no child is made to be a soldier, and no woman is
exploited; where national security is strengthened by a military that
serves under civilians, and a Constitution guarantees that only those
who are elected by the people may govern. On that journey, America will
support you every step of the way: by using our assistance to empower
civil society; by engaging your military to promote professionalism and
human rights; and by partnership with you as you connect your progress
towards democracy with economic development.
*** Every nation struggles to define citizenship – America has had great
debates about these issues, and they continue to this day. But certain
principles are universal – the right of people to live without the
threat that their families may be harmed or their homes may be burned
simply because of who they are or where they come from. Ultimately, only
the people of this country can define your union, but I have confidence
that – as you do – you can draw on diversity as a strength, not a
weakness.
I say this because my own country, and my own life, has taught me this.
The United States of America is a nation of Christians and Jews; Muslims
and Buddhists; Hindus and non-believers. Our story is shaped by every
language and enriched by every culture. We have tasted the bitterness of
civil war and segregation, but our history shows us that hatred in the
human heart can recede, and the lines between races and tribe fade away.
What is left, then, is a simple truth: e pluribus unum; in America, out
of many, we are one nation, we are one people. Time and again, that
truth has made our union stronger.
We amended our Constitution to extend the democratic principles that we
hold dear. And I stand before you today as President of the most
powerful nation on Earth, with a heritage that would have once denied me
the right to vote. So I believe deeply that this country can transcend
its differences, and that every human being within these borders is a
part of your nation’s story.
(White House Press Office)
