As countries grapple with modernization, people who are left behind tend to hold firmer and firmer to their view of the evil of modernity.

World War I was not inevitable, as many historians say. It could have been avoided, and it was a diplomatically botched negotiation.

Our enemy is Al Qaeda and its allies, people who have publicly said they wish to attack the United States again, people who have publicly called on nuclear physicists and engineers to help them gain access to nuclear weapons, which, as the whole world knows, Pakistan has.

If a country denies it has AIDS, that country will inevitably become an even greater victim.

I still believe in the possibility of the United States, with all its will and all its strength, and I don't just mean military, persevering against any challenge. I still believe in that.

Nothing generates more heat in the government than the question of who is chosen to participate in important meetings.

United Nations peacekeepers are going all over the world spreading AIDS even while they're trying to bring peace. What a supreme irony.
