Remarks by
Secretary Clinton at the New York University Commencement Ceremony
"Now, I know that it is fashionable in
commencement speeches to be idealistic, and that may sound so, but at the root
of my conviction is a strong sense of reality. Because you see, I don't think we
have a choice. We can sit on the sidelines, we can wring our hands, we can
retreat into cynicism, and we know what the results will be: We will cede the
field to those whose ideologies are absolutely anathema to people of conscience
and faith all over the world. So our positive interdependence, which is a fact,
will prepare us to meet these challenges."
