My Favorite Things In Life Are My

Countries That Intervene Militarily Rarely Do So Out Of Pure Altruism.

American Decision-makers Must Understand How Damaging A Foreign Policy That Privileges Order And Profit Over Justice Really Is In The Long Term.

From Richard Holbrooke - And I Miss Him Every Day - I Learned Two Things. One, Prioritization: Never Take Your Eye Off The Longer-term Reforms. The Other Thing Is, He Was A Hell Of A Schmoozer! So I Should Take Advantage Of My Irish Love Of Beer And Gift Of The Gab, And Build Relationships. That's A Cherished Part Of The Job, Asking Someone, "how Did You Get To Be The Rwandan Ambassador?" I Try To Take Advantage Of The Fact That I Hope To Be Here At Least Until The President's Term Ends Getting To Know My Colleagues.

My Basic Feeling About Military Intervention Is That It Should Be A Last Resort, Undertaken Only To Stave Off Large-scale Bloodshed.

In The '90s, There Was Scant Presidential Leadership And Insufficient Domestic Political Mobilization For Foreign Policy Grounded In Human Rights.
