Information technology has politicized the world's population.

After the '30s, we said, "no more Munichs." And it got us in a lot of problems. Then we said, "No more Vietnams." Now if we say, "No more Iraqs," the next one won't be an Iraq. It will be something different. You can't learn lessons.

To sum up, the position we took was that since we didn't know the internal situation in Iraq nor Saddam Hussein, that our best bet was to take counsel from the people who did know him and who did deal with him.

We can't make China a friend, but we can behave to make them an enemy.

Perhaps the most troubling area in the world goes from the Balkans through the Middle East and in Central Asia.

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

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