Political Quotes

“I believe Senators Dole and Lieberman and all those Senators supporting this bill have adequately refuted the many arguments posed against it. The unlawfulness of the embargo has been well established. Those who fear that other embargoes will be undermined should we act unilaterally should remember that as the sole superpower left in the world, as the leading nation in NATO, and as the greatest force for good on earth, the United States should have sufficient influence left to discourage our closest allies from breaking international law and acting against our and their best interests. All the logistic questions raised against lifting the embargo were raised against our support for the Afghan resistance. Those problems were overcome then, and they can be overcome in this situation. In the end, the Dole-Lieberman legislation is a matter of simple justice.”
