we will support and encourage governments that meet the basic tests of tolerance, inclusiveness and openness.

We think it has been an enormously helpful tool, and it has had enormous impact in helping us to galvanize the international community to take steps to put additional pressure on Iran.

We are determined to move Bosnia along the path of political reform.

the goal was not to impose the sanctions. The goal was to get other countries to join with us in doing this.
