Most people want us to be helpful, but they don't want us to be taking a leading role.
Hillary Clinton
The Public Record
Hillary Rodham Clinton is a prominent American politician and member of the Democratic Party, best known for her role as the 67th Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013 under President Barack Obama. Prior to that, she served as the United States Senator from New York from 2001 to 2009. Clinton has been a significant figure in American politics for decades, advocating for issues such as healthcare reform, women's rights, and international diplomacy. Her tenure as Secretary of State included notable events such as the U.S. response to the Arab Spring and the military intervention in Libya.
Imagine what we would be facing if Libya had not given up its nuclear weapons in 2003.
I believe our cultural exports properly presented powerful incentives for democracy building, because what it does is free people's minds.
I share your deep feelings about the bombing of Pan Am 103, because we both shared constituents who were so deeply and tragically affected by that, and I think justice must be served.
I met with the four foreign ministers from Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy.
I remember early in--right after the Afghan war started--meeting an Afghan general who said he was so surprised because all he knew about America was that men were wrestlers and women wore bikinis.
The United States did an amazing job during the cold war. We sent our values, our culture, our inspiration across the Iron Curtain through Voice of America, Radio Free Europe.
We need to do more and we need to make it clearer that the entire world had better get behind whatever we do.
Critical global health programs are going to be cut dramatically, and it's going to jeopardize the progress we are making
I think we've got to be smart strategically about what are the levers that can best be employed to help create indigenous, organized centers of power and influence.
We believe so, Senator. In fact, the ICC announced today they would be opening up an investigation file on Colonel Gaddafi and those around him.
The 16 percent cut for State and USAID that passed the House last month would be devastating to our national security.
No political party can be committed to the overthrow of the government, can be unwilling to support an inclusive society
Prime Minister Cameron said, this is how we demonstrate we're involved, we're leading, we're out there.
We are very committed to this. I've given two speeches on it. I've made it a high priority within the Department.
We are in an information war, and we cannot assume that this huge youth bulge that exists, not just in the Middle East, but in so many parts of the world, really knows much about us.
We have ruled out permanent American bases, but there can be other ways where we provide support for the Afghans.
I would consider Gaddafi a human-rights abuser, and I would consider the leadership of Iran as abusing human rights.
