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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is my view that we cannot conduct foreign policy at the extremes.
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.
We insist that the international community cannot depend on any country with weapons of mass destruction which has relations with terrorists, and which allows itself the luxury of not respecting the law and of defying the international community.
We cannot let terrorists hold this nation hostile or hold our allies hostile.
We have come a long way in terms of foreign policy.
As strong as the United States is, we can't deal with terrorism alone.
It is idle to say that nations can struggle to outdo each other in building armaments and never use them. History demonstrates the contrary, and we have but to go back to the last war to see the appalling effect of nations competing in great armaments.
Our foreign policy and our military policy is make sure that we fight on foreign shores and not shores here.
No foreign policy - no matter how ingenious - has any chance of success if it is born in the minds of a few and carried in the hearts of none.
Domestic policy can only defeat us; foreign policy can kill us.
