We should seek international support for our mutual objectives abroad, in promoting freedom, democracy, respect for human rights, and also the elimination of weapons of mass destruction.

The United Nations should become a proactive agent in the dissemination of democratic principles.

We believe very passionately that an international approach is necessary to achieve some of these goals.

We must do all we can to help improve the deplorable human rights situation of the North Korean people.

Democracy functions best when we have an active citizenry.

We will have to stand up for and promote the power and promise of free markets and free peoples, and affirm that American preeminence safeguards rather than impedes global progress.

We need to get involved in things that are important to other countries, just as we expect them to participate in things that are important to us.

Everything has to be done to build some sort of international democracy. We've seen only the tiniest beginnings of that.

Now the first step has to be taken, the step towards democracy. This step is full of risks, and requires trust on all sides. We don't know where it will lead. But if we just stand still, we will have no chance of escaping the violence.

As free citizens in a political democracy, we have a responsibility to be interested and involved in the affairs of the human community, be it at the local or the global level.
