Resorting to force is not desirable in the current situation, and would not solve the problems we are confronted with.

The tragic events of September 11 are a cruel reminder of the necessity and the urgency of a security partnership of countries that embrace the values of democracy and peace.

The only problems come because we sometimes have duplicating activities. It's actually a good thing all the way around because it's servicing everyone who needs a program.

I will strengthen them so that we can solve problems together, so that the use of military force is our last resort, not our first, and if America must act with force we can call on the military, financial, and moral resources of others.
