Much of the president's speech focused on continuing to spread freedom because he says if whole regions of the world remain in despair and grow in hatred, they will be recruiting ground for terror.

Our aim is to build and preserve a community of free and independent nations, with governments that answer to their citizens, and reflect their own cultures."
