We must stop Saddam from ever again jeopardizing the stability and security of his neighbors with weapons of mass destruction.
There is a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.
No one has done what Saddam Hussein has done, or is thinking of doing. He is producing weapons of mass destruction, and he is qualitatively and quantitatively different from other dictators.
The greatest thrill in my life was to represent the United States of America.
What a blast it is to be here with Michael Moore.
No matter how hard we might wish, we will not be able to transform China’s behavior overnight.
I do think that one needs to have respect for people who are older. And I really do love the idea that one can respect generations.
I really do think about the fact that every day counts. I believe that every individual counts, and so I believe that every day counts and I try not to waste it.
US is a very religious country. Separation of church and state is part of our credo, but that it is hard to understand since our money says “In God we trust” and every President says “God bless America”.

What distinguishes Americans from many people in the world is our kind of endemic optimism.
The other thing that happened was that we have a tendency to project our own weaknesses onto another woman. I don’t think men do that particularly.
I got married, I really waited a long time – three days after I graduated.
After the Cold War, to rally the American people to understand that we had to be a part of solutions. It’s one thing to say that we have to run everything, it’s another to say we don’t want anything to do with it.
It is an unfortunate fact that in many parts of the world women are considered property. An awful lot of injustice is obviously due to that; not just women’s status in the home, but all kinds of laws that are even more discriminating.
The bottom line is, the more we have a cadre of women moving up the scale, and it doesn’t seem threatening, and people realize that women actually work much harder than men, and realize that they need more women in these jobs, I think that goes away.
