Madeleine Albright: “We both believe fervently in the importance of a bipartisan foreign policy.”

I don't think it's a western concept that we're too pushy about. I don't believe you can ever be too pushy about democracy.

The failure to pay our old U.N. bills undermines our ability to recruit allies with the kind of structural reform that Congress demands.

But in the vast majority of cases, support for democracy serves both our interests and our ideals.

We need to make clear that we need to be back, and really do need to make clear in so many ways that we are a leader in restoring and building democracy in other countries.
