We Have The Most Generous

After The Cold War, To Rally The American People To Understand That We Had To Be A Part Of Solutions. It's One Thing To Say That We Have To Run Everything, It's Another To Say We Don't Want Anything To Do With It.

I Think That We Had A Different View Of What The 21st Century Could Be Like, With Much More Of A Sense, From Our Perspective, Of Trying To Have An Interdependent World: Looking At Solving Regional Conflicts, Having Strength In Alliances, Operating Within Some Kind Of A Sense That We Were Part Of The International Community And Not Outside Of It.

The Purpose Of Foreign Policy Is To Persuade Others To Do What We Want Or, Better Yet, To Want What We Want.

No Matter What Message You Are About To Deliver Somewhere, Whether It Is Holding Out A Hand Of Friendship, Or Making Clear That You Disapprove Of Something, Is The Fact That The Person Sitting Across The Table Is A Human Being, So The Goal Is To Always Establish Common Ground.

I Know That War Is Very Cruel And That Life Is Harder When You Aren't Able To Live In The Place You Called Home.
