Maybe I am a bit too muh of a fan of this movie, but I think that a speech with this particular quotation in it, expressing agreement with its ideas, might swing the balance a little in an election and also jolt some other countries’ governments out of their complacency:

“My brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!” Few prizes for guessing which movie.

It also might be interesting to see what certain foreigners might think if someone seriously proposed changing the US National Anthem. To what? To the Battle Hymn.

After all, a lot of your current anthem deals with the conflict with my country, the UK. After two hundred and twenty years, is it not time for that particular hatchet to be buried?
