"To the contrary, I think we bent over backwards to press for elections and for democratic reform."
Diplomacy
"Well my briefing was that Honduras was a small and vulnerable country just back on the path towards democracy it was about to have just before I arrived, the first elections for a civilian president in more than 9 years."
Nation
"I think people took Grenada for what it turned out to be, which was a very specific incident and from which one couldn't necessarily make a lot of generalizations."

Politics
"It seems to be that when these communist regimes take over - if you look at the example of Vietnam or Cambodia or Nicaragua - that even in conditions of peace they don't seem to be able to figure out how to support their people, and the human suffering is enormous."
Peace
"Very hard, very hard to represent a country, or carry out a policy that does not have consensus support."
