The many questions about the bombing of Yugoslavia by the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation – meaning primarily the United States – come down to two fundamental issues: ‚What are the accepted and applicable ‚rules of world order,‘ and how do these apply in the case of Kosovo?‘

Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.

In Kosovo, the U.S. has chosen a course of action that escalates atrocities and violence. It is also a course of action that strikes a blow against the regime of international order, but which offers the weak at least some protection from predatory states.

We live in an inter-dependent world. An isolated India is not in our interest.

When you think of the sort of things that happen when a genocide happens, it’s again not people who are intrinsically evil.

The happy Union of these States is a wonder; their Constitution a miracle; their example the hope of Liberty throughout the world.

In February 2004, the two traditional torturers of Haiti – France and the United States – combined to back a military coup and send President Aristide off to Africa. The U.S. denies him permission to return to the entire region.

Wars are not paid for in wartime, the bill comes later.

This is not Johnson’s war. This is America’s war. If I drop dead tomorrow, this war will still be with you.

I consider myself to be as informed on American foreign policy as anyone in America.

Everybody has a job to do. There are people in Iraq on both sides of this war who do what they do for religious reasons, and they feel with God on their side. Some people are good at annihilating people. Maybe that’s their gift.

Fifty years of isolating Cuba had failed to promote democracy, setting us back in Latin America. That’s why we restored diplomatic relations, opened the door to travel and commerce, and positioned ourselves to improve the lives of the Cuban people.

Right after 9-11, as far as I know, one newspaper in the United States had the integrity to investigate opinion in the Muslim world: the ‚Wall Street Journal.‘

In November 2004, U.S. occupation forces launched their second major attack on the city of Falluja. The press reported major war crimes instantly, with approval.

Washington isn’t a city, it’s an abstraction.

I can say with confidence there has never been a man or a woman – not me, not Bill, nobody – more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president of the United States of America.

Everybody has forgotten that Russia helped start the Second World War.

We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times… and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen.

In a world of complex threats, our security and leadership depends on all elements of our power – including strong and principled diplomacy.

Diplomats are just as essential to starting a war as soldiers are for finishing it… You take diplomacy out of war, and the thing would fall flat in a week.

Those 62 million girls who are not being educated around the world impact my life in Washington, D.C., in the United States of America. Because if we aren’t empowering and providing the skills and the resources to half of our population, then we’re not realizing our full potential as a society, as mankind.

In the spring of 1929, I returned to the United States. I was homesick for this country. I had learned in my student days a great deal about the new physics. I wanted to pursue this myself, to explain it, and to foster its cultivation.

Undoubtedly, the U.S. harbors leading international terrorists, people described by the F.B.I. and the Justice Department as leading terrorists, like Orlando Bosch, now Posada Carriles, not to speak of those who actually implement state terrorism.

I’ve known and continue to know every one of these major world leaders by their first names, and I have access to them.

We all hoped in 2001 that we could put in place an Afghan government under President Karzai that would be able to control the country, make sure al-Qaeda didn’t come back, and make sure the Taliban wasn’t resurging. It didn’t work out.

The global importance of the Middle East is that it keeps the Far East and the Near East from encroaching on each other.

I can’t imagine what this place would be – I can’t imagine what the country would be – with Donald Trump as our president.

In general, I think, U.S. policies remain constant, going back to the Second World War. But the capacity to implement them is declining.

Every citizen has the real right to receive general education and professional training at no cost, something that the United States has not been able to ensure for all its inhabitants.

The events of October 1962 are widely hailed as Kennedy’s finest hour.

While the Chinese people, as a rule, are good people, my business dealings with Communist Chinese officials have left me disturbed and concerned about the rise of the Chinese Empire.

I am at peace with God. My conflict is with Man.

Israel is a pretty crazy state.

War is evil, but it is often the lesser evil.

When America stopped importing from China, China stopped importing from the rest of the world. This affects Asian countries as well as Australia, Brazil, and other suppliers of raw materials.

I am mortified to be told that, in the United States of America, the sale of a book can become a subject of inquiry, and of criminal inquiry too.

I almost laughed about the Machiavellian plans of the presidents of the United States.

In the case of Yugoslavia v. NATO, one of the charges was genocide. The U.S. appealed to the court, saying that, by law, the United States is immune to the charge of genocide, self-immunized, and the court accepted that, so the case proceeded against the other NATO powers, but not against the United States.

A world without nuclear weapons would be less stable and more dangerous for all of us.

The truth of the matter is that Iran is a cancer.

The idea that putting Americans ‚first‘ requires a withdrawal from the world is simply wrongheaded because a retreat would achieve exactly the opposite for our citizens.

People do not make wars; governments do.

What we need is a system of thought – you might even call it a religion – that can bind humans together. A system that would fit the Republic of Chad as well as the United States: a system that would supply our idealistic young people with something to believe in.

The U.S. – the idea that the U.S. has introduced and imposed principles of international law, that’s hardly even a joke. The United States has even gone so far as to veto Security Council resolutions calling on all states to observe international law. That was in the 1980s under Reagan.

More understand China, then more people will have interest in China and more people will come to China to visit us because I am a tourist ambassador.

I was born in Europe… and I’ve traveled all over the world. I can tell you that there is no place, no country, that is more compassionate, more generous, more accepting, and more welcoming than the United States of America.

The U.S. is just in a class by itself in military expenses. It basically matches the rest of the world, and it’s far more advanced.

Fidel Castro, whatever people may think of him, is a hero in Latin America, primarily because he stood up to the United States.

A siege is an act of war.

Dalton’s records, carefully preserved for a century, were destroyed during the World War II bombing of Manchester. It is not only the living who are killed in war.

I am in politics because of the conflict between good and evil, and I believe that in the end good will triumph.

I don’t have freedom in the United States to go into a public school and preach the Gospel, nor is a student free in a public school to pray, or a teacher free to read the Bible publicly to the students. At the same time, we have a great degree of freedom for which I am grateful.

With those attacks, the terrorists and their supporters declared war on the United States. And war is what they got.

Some international law specialists compare the invasion of Iraq to the ‚crimes against the peace‘ for which Nazi leaders were indicted at Nuremberg.

I think one of the great things about the United States has been our ability to maintain a distinction between our military and domestic law enforcement.

The U.S. immigration laws are bad – really, really bad. I’d say treatment of immigrants is one of the greatest injustices done in our government’s name.

The United States fully accepts the profound truth that our own progress, prosperity, and peace are interlocked with the progress, prosperity, and peace of all humanity.

The United States never stopped conspiring against the Arab world, which holds the largest oil reserves on the planet.

Nobody wants to put the creditworthiness of the United States in jeopardy. Nobody wants to see the United States default. So we’ve got to seize this moment, and we have to seize it soon.

Hate crime is not new in the United States.

Although I don’t like the way the Chinese do business, I continue to do business in China. I have to. They’re the next world power.
