"People the world over have always been more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of our power."~Former President William Jefferson Clinton, DNC Aug. 27, 2008
That was up there with "right makes might, not might makes right" from King Aurthur for me.
The dominant Republican culture for the last 40 years has been the opposite, more Machiavellian than Christlike. I don't care what you think about Bill Clinton or whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, this statement is not only applicable to American foreign policy, but good words to live by in all of one's life.
