Conflict

Today it is hard to imagine that this is now a place of peace.

Why should they do something that would hand a victory to the extremists on both sides?

I would tell them that they were over there fighting ultimately for a peace to take place.

This was clearly not an easy fight.

I’m very upset by the shelling of Sarajevo.

I hope that this action will potentially save many Muslim as well as non-Muslim lives, both in the Middle East and elsewhere.

I must view this provision as advisory rather than mandatory, in order to avoid conflict with my exclusive authority under the Constitution to decide whether and when the executive branch should propose legislation.

We were right in kicking him out of Kuwait.

This aggression simply will not stand.

We hope and we expect that the conflict between Iran and Iraq will not have any effect on the safety or lives of the hostages.

Our position is that we will not get involved in the conflict at all.

I don't see any way at this time that this altercation between Iran and Iraq will affect the safety or the lives of the hostages nor the date of their release.

I am gratified by the result, but I can take little personal pleasure from a fight among friends, whatever the outcome.

The ancient soil of Europe bears constant, visible evidence of the carnage that war inevitably brings.

As American troops return home with honor from another distant conflict, the hope is strong for a full generation of peace.

This is not an agreement which guarantees that there will be no war.

However, when the enemy abandons all restraint, throws its whole army into battle in the territory of its neighbor, refuses to negotiate, we simply face a new situation.

The killing in this tragic war must stop.
