I Don't Think The Chinese

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.

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.

I Believe The Chinese Are Gradually Realizing That They're Dependent On The System That, As They Run Out Of Energy, For Example, They Have To Reach Out To Foreign Sources For Energy, For Raw Materials. They Have To Reach Out To The World For Markets. They Have To Export. They Have To Maintain Full Employment. They've Got A Terrible Population Problem. So They Need A Stable World, In A Way.

Who Is The Guarantor, If There Is One, Of A More Stable World? It's The United States.

I Think There's Nothing More Dangerous Than Mislearning Lessons Of History, And We Do It Perpetually.
