We may have to have a geo-political regrouping or major geo-political changes.

Our lives are politically wound.

The U.S. needs to do more than change presidents. It needs to change its political culture.

Now there is a cultural change under way in the Foreign Service.

Men and women do not easily submit to a power that does not weave itself into the texture of their daily existence - one reason why culture remains so politically vital. Civilisation cannot get on with culture, and it cannot get on without it.

Our voices need to be raised in unison against the deterioration of our culture.

We need to do something about the culture of violence.

So the same cultural and political issues that divided us in 1968 are still dividing us.

I think the next president needs to lead on cultural issues and experience, particularly on foreign policy.

The economic and political roots of the conflicts are too strong for us to pretend to create a lasting state of harmonious understanding between men.
