Political Quotes

“I, too, have had the chance to go to Bosnia; and I can say that there is a myth that exists that says that people just cannot get along with each; they just hate each other and are going to kill each other. That is not true. There is leadership in that area which drilled hostilities and which made it possible for conditions of war to erupt. It is not that there is something in the hearts of those people that they cannot get along. Those people are us. We are those people. I met with widows in Srebrenica, whose husbands were thrown into a ditch after they were shot, who are still asking the question about why; and who still hold out a hand of friendship and brotherhood with people who they have been told are enemies. We have to realize there is no imperative here for war. There is an imperative for peace as long as the United States is involved with the 34 other nations which exist to help keep peace.”
