Hewitt - Having read the speech many times, having played it in its entirety on the program as well as many clips from it, and having debated its merits with Peter Robinson for three-quarters of an hour, here's the paragraph that I think provides the key for understanding the speech: "From the perspective of a single day, including this day of dedication, the issues and questions before our country are many. From the viewpoint of centuries, the questions that come to us are narrowed and few. Did our generation advance the cause of freedom? And did our character bring credit to that cause?" These are the questions that have not yet been fully answered and about which debate rages every day both here and abroad. But they are the crucial questions, and the president's speech was intended to and did in fact focus the country and the world on the right questions, and eloquently frames the view that matters most, that of generations not yet born.
