To me the question of the environment is more ominous than that of peace and war...I'm more worried about global warming than I am of any major military conflict.

International cooperation, multilateralism is indispensable.

For some twenty years the window that opened at the end of the Cold War has been allowed to hang flapping in the wind. It is high time that the five nuclear-weapon states take seriously their commitment to negotiate toward nuclear disarmament.

I also hear your president say that war is the means of last resort and I think he means that. I met him last autumn and he assured me that they wanted to come through and disarm Iraq by peaceful means, and that's what we are trying to do as hard as we can.

Even on television, the wavelengths that you use, they have to be distributed between countries.

If you take the biological weapons in the United States we still will have perhaps a single individual who was able to make anthrax, dry it, and spread it through the mail and cause terror.

By and large my relations with the US were good.
