"Sanctions can work only if they are multinational. There is plenty of business to be done in Europe and Asia."

"Sanctions are derided because they are hostile. But those who prize peace should be informed that they are not a prelude to war but a substitute for it."

"As to persuasion, we need a robust State Department. It is being cut back. That is a national security issue."
