“Secretary of state Colin Powell himself eloquently pointed out the many ways to get at the root of this problem... economic, diplomatic, legal and political, as well as military. A rush to launch precipitous military counterattacks runs too great a risk that more innocent men, women and children will be killed. I could not vote for a resolution that I believe will lead to such an outcome.” MenWayBelieveWellsChildrenStatesProblemRunningPoliticalI BelieveRiskEconomicMilitaryRootsVoteInnocentOutcomesResolutionSecretaryMen WomenEloquenceDiplomaticInnocent Man Author:Barbara Lee

“I never did, nor do I believe I ever shall, give advice to a woman who is setting out on a matrimonial voyage; first, because I never could advise one to marry without her own consent; and, secondly, I know it is to no purpose to advise her to refrain when she has obtained it. A woman very rarely asks an opinion or requires advice on such an occasion, till her resolution is formed; and then it is with the hope and expectation of obtaining a sanction, not that she means to be governed by your disapprobation, that she applies.” KnowsGivingFirstsBelieveMeanPurposeAsksI BelieveMarriageOpinionAdviceExpectationsSettingSettingsOccasionsResolutionConsentAdviseSanctionsVoyagesRefrainObtainingHopes And Expectations Book:Writings Source: Writings
