For Me, America Is Really, Truly The

I Do Consider Myself A Feminist. I Know The Word Has Weird Implications For People Now, But I Do Think That Its Important To Have Women Involved, Whether Its Business Or Public Service Or...anything.

One Of The Things That Was Really An Issue Was I Did Not Want To Just Be A Woman Secretary Of State. I Wanted To Be A Secretary Of A State Who Was A Woman, But Not Just Chosen For That Particular Reason.

I Think We All Are People That Are The Product Of Our Backgrounds. It's Wrong To Think That You're Not.

I Don't Actually Believe In A Clash Of Civilizations. I Believe In A Clash Of The Civilized And The Noncivilized.

The Reason I Made Women's Issues Central To American Foreign Policy, Was Not Because I Was A Feminist, But Because We Know That Societies Are More Stable If Women Are Politically And Economically Empowered.
