Government

More quotes by Al Gore

America cannot be the world's policeman. But we must reject the new isolationism that says: don't help anywhere, because we can not help everywhere.

Going it alone may satisfy a political instinct but it is dangerous to our military, even without their Commander in Chief taunting terrorists to "bring it on."

We need not only a new generation of weapons. We need a new generation of thinking.

We Americans write our own history. And the chapters of which we're proudest are the ones where we had the courage to change.

A responsible foreign policy must harness all our economic and military might — but it must also make use of our values and principles.
