If Iraq were to descend into chaos, the Europeans would feel the effects just as much as we would.

The UN could help the Iraqi government get on its feet and help the United States withdraw a bit more.

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

We must find out where the roots of terrorism lie.

America has never seen itself as a national state like all others, but rather as an experiment in human freedom and democracy.

After all, we didn't bring democracy to Germany in 1945; Hitler destroyed democracy there first.

Europeans are familiar with terrorism and violence. We have not experienced a true conflict on our soil in a hundred years, and especially not one that involved 3,000 dead.
