It's high time somebody on his own side tackled him in his tracks.”

There is no way to think that taking the Chinese situation into consideration shows a disregard for Burma.”

“The fundamental question for the United States is how it can cooperate to help meet the basic needs of the people of the hemisphere despite the philosophical disagreements it may have with the nature of particular regimes.
