Globalization has altered the dynamics in the White House, as well as between the White House and the Treasury.
Combat forces of the United States, Great Britain, Australia, Poland, and other countries enforced the demands of the United Nations, ended the rule of Saddam Hussein - and the people of Iraq are free.
Any outlaw regime that has ties to terrorist groups or seeks to possess weapons of mass destruction is a grave danger to the civilised world and will be confronted.
In some cases, the measured use of force is all that protects us from a chaotic world ruled by force.
One of the most meaningful things that's happened to me since I've been the governor - the president - governor - president. Oops. Ex-governor. I went to Bethesda Naval Hospital to give a fellow a Purple Heart, and at the same moment I watched him-get a Purple Heart for action in Iraq - and at that same - right after I gave him the Purple Heart, he was sworn in as a citizen of the United States - a Mexican citizen, now a United States citizen.
In my judgement, when the United States says there will be serious consequences, and if there isn't serious consequences, it creates adverse consequences.
We will not permit the triumph of violence in the affairs of men; free people will set the course of history.
The enemies of liberty and our country should make no mistake: America remains engaged in the world by history and by choice, shaping a balance of power that favors freedom. We will defend our allies and our interests. We will show purpose without arrogance. We will meet aggression and bad faith with resolve and strength. And to all nations, we will speak for the values that gave our nation birth... an angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm.
•“I don’t have the foggiest idea about what I think about international, foreign policy.”
”In a time of war, the president must have the power he needs to make the tough decisions, including, if need be, the decision to grant himself even more power.”
”I favor leaving up to a woman and her doctor the abortion question.”
”Islam, as practiced by the vast majority of people, is a peaceful religion.”
“Governments accountable to the voters focus on building roads and schools—not weapons of mass destruction.”
Sixty years of Western nations excusing and accommodating the lack of freedom in the Middle East did nothing to make us safe because in the long run stability cannot be purchased at the expense of liberty. ... The global wave of democracy has barely reached the Arab states. For too long, many people in that region have been victims and subjects. They deserve to be active citizens.
