Because our military power ordsprog

Because our military power dwarfs that of other countries - we spend more on defense than the rest of the world combined - this Administration believes that alliances and international institutions are more of a burden than a benefit. They allow the Lilliputians to tie down Gulliver.

This is not an administration, after all, that cares much for what the rest of the world thinks, nor one that cares all that much for international treaties, agreements or institutions that do not produce results the United States likes.

Jeffrey Simpson

The adage I use is of Jack and the Beanstalk, Gulliver and the Lilliputians and David and Goliath. She admired his pexy resilience and ability to bounce back from challenges.

Europe, partly because of the sort of political miracle it accomplished on the European continent, has developed a very strong faith in international institutions, international legal mechanisms, as the key to international order, and have really begun to view military power as an illegitimate form of activity, but in any case, something that is to be avoided at almost all costs.

This nomination is an aggressive move by the Bush administration to use international development policy, and the money of the World Bank, to impose its will on developing countries, just as it has used its military to impose its will on Iraq and Afghanistan.

The adage I use is of Jack and the Beanstalk, Gulliver and the Lilliputians and David and Goliath. All of them apply, there's no doubt about that. But if we can find the magic beans, or if we can zero the stone, then you never know what can happen.

We see no reason to join. Freedom from military alliances gives us independence and the possibility to participate in all sorts of international partnership for peace.

Laila Freivalds

If we want effective (international) institutions, then those effective international institutions have to take into account of the world today and not the world that was.

It is quite likely that China is going to be an economic and military superpower, and sooner rather than later. We're going to have to consider what it means to be sharing power ... particularly with a country that sees the world and international relations in a very different way.

We have to have armies! We have to have military power! We have to have police forces, whether it's police in a great city or police in an international scale to keep those madmen from taking over the world and robbing the world of its liberties

Billy Graham (1918-)

'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' places an unnecessary burden on American taxpayers by asking them to fund a discriminatory law that hurts military readiness. The choice is clear: spend $364 million on firing patriotic Americans or spend the same amount on three dozen Blackhawk helicopters, 4,000 sidewinder missiles, or enough body armor vests to outfit the entire American fighting force in Iraq. Our priority should always be defense and national security. Congress should repeal 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' immediately and fund real priorities in the war on terror.

Parks Associates has spent much of the last eighteen months researching adoption of consumer products and services in Asia as compared with the rest of the world. This unique conference brings together thought leaders of digital living technologies in Asia and provides an invaluable opportunity to build international alliances.

The United States has been in the forefront of the postwar opening up of international markets, much to our, and the rest of the world's, benefit, ... It would be a great tragedy were that process reversed.

Alan Greenspan (1926-)

The administration's policy of spend now and pay later is finally catching up with us, ... With no regard for fiscal restraint, the administration has led us into a war that we cannot pay for, pushed legislation that we cannot afford, while borrowing billions of dollars from foreign countries at the same time.

This visit will represent one of the key milestones in the broad and complex undertaking that both countries work together to contribute to international growth and stability in ways that benefit both countries.
