I think America has to do more than be a broker now. Because both the Palestinians are weak and Israel is very weak.

Saddam's ouster will not necessarily lead to the same result, since Iraq lacks democratic traditions. Democracy doesn't just consist of holding elections.

America is stronger than any state probably since the Roman Empire. But we can't do what used to be done with that kind of strength.

I'm afraid that the United States is more isolated today than at any other time in my memory.

Progress is only possible if the United States and its allies work together.

You know, different people are going to react different ways. And I don't think we should be intolerable because people do things a little differently.

I think that America is a part of the world, that we want to cooperate with the world. We are not the dominant power in the world, that everyone falls in behind us. But we want to reach out and cooperate.
