We cannot be any stronger in our foreign policy for all the bombs and guns we may heap up in our arsenals than we are in the spirit which rules inside the country. Foreign policy, like a river, cannot rise above its source.

My view of foreign policy is that we need to be careful and circumspect about United States intervention in any foreign nation.

Often, foreign policy - which, by definition, is largely out of American control - is simply a matter of not doing the wrong thing, the unwise thing.

The problem with the U.S. foreign policy is that we're just so unbelievably powerful. And when you've got that kind of power, it's very hard not to use it.

The U.S. cannot impose freedom, security, and unity in Iraq by force.

I don't want foreign policy developed just by one party and ride roughshod over the other party.

Foreign policy simply cannot be judged by today's headlines that chalk up victories and defeats like so many box scores in the sports sections.

This is the devilish thing about foreign affairs: they are foreign and will not always conform to our whim.
