I urge the parties and paramilitary organizations to seize this opportunity to realize these goals in order to secure lasting peace for the people of Northern Ireland.

The democratic countries of this hemisphere are united in our hope that the election be conducted in a transparent, peaceful, and statesmanlike manner.

One act of violence is still one too many.

The Good Friday accord, made possible by the courage of leaders from both of Northern Ireland's communities, responded to the people's overwhelming desire for peace.

Let me say this: I believe that both these leaders want to make peace.

It was in Oslo, 6 years ago, that Israelis and Palestinians made the crucial decision to try to work together to achieve peace.

Humanitarian relief of this kind is not only the right thing to do for our values; it also helps build peace and stability and thereby strengthens America's own security.

We recognize that the U.S.-Israel relationship serves as a cornerstone for pursuing peace.

Israel's triumph will not be complete until true peace, trust, and cooperation reign between Israel and its neighbors.

I urge all rebel groups to commit to peace and sign on to this important accord.

The agreement offers the hope of ending nearly 8 years of terrible conflict in Sierra Leone and bringing peace and a brighter future for its people.

The furnishing of defense articles and services to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe will strengthen the security of the United States and promote world peace.

I want them to remember how strongly the people voted for peace and for the Good Friday accords.

We have to win the peace with the same qualities with which you won the conflict, with determination and patience, with discipline and precision.

The worst is already over in Kosovo.

We must build a Europe with no frontline states, a Europe undivided, democratic, and at peace for the first time in history.

Serbia must accept the agreement and a NATO-led force in Kosovo, which is essential for peace to take hold.

Today we rejoice at the promise of peace in Northern Ireland and the resolve of her people to approach their differences not with weapons, but with words.
