Bill Clinton

Tomorrow we celebrate the last Thanksgiving of this century.

I've always planned to go there, and I hope I can.

Harry, you've got your pardon.

I think it's wonderful.

But listen: Only you can win the peace.

Thanks to you, we have reversed ethnic cleansing.

I want these children to know that the world is a better place when people are proud of their own race and ethnicity and religion, but respectful of others.

No more days hiding in cellars, no more nights freezing in mountains and forests.

The power of our weapons could win the military battle in Kosovo, but the peace can only be won by the human heart.

You are a rebuke to the biggest problem in the world, and the power of your example can do more than anything else to help us to win the peace.

We are on the way to meeting the challenge I have set: making sure we have a Board-certified teacher in every school in the Nation by 2006.

I'm fine. I'm delighted to be here, very pleased.

These teachers represent all regions of the country; public and private schools; rural, urban, and suburban districts; and every grade from kindergarten through high school.

I came here to say to you, the people of Bulgaria, that through freedom you, too, shall overcome.

This is a wonderful country.

I think we will be doing it for many years.

If you choose as Bulgaria has chosen, you will regain the rightful place in Europe.

I am especially grateful for Bulgaria's policy and history of tolerance and cooperation among different groups of people within this country.

You have Europe and its values in your heart.

I think it's very important to do that.

I strongly support and admire the political, economic, and military reforms that the Government has undertaken.

Come here and help Bulgaria help build the future.

You have preserved a multiethnic society.

I will make a very strong statement about the importance of everybody getting over this ethnic hatred and going beyond it.

I know that it may seem hard now.
