Fact vs. Fiction

Two points to anyone (except zohra, sorry) who can guess where this quote is from:

"We let it happen. People were being slaughtered for over a year. We issued economic sanctions, and hid behind a rhetoric of diplomacy. How dare we? The dead remember. Real peace is not just the absence of conflict, it is the presence of justice."

"Tonight, I come to you with a pledge to change America's policy. Never again will I allow our political self-interest to deter us from doing what we know to be morally right. Atrocity and terror are not political weapons. And to those who would use them: your day is over. We will never negotiate. We will no longer tolerate, and we will no longer be afraid. It is your turn to be afraid."

The first hint, is just a year: 1997.
