It's perilous to look ahead and be like, "I'd like to be ambassador." I would never have gone to Bosnia or spent years writing about genocide. Do it on the basis of what you can learn.... It's like falling in love. Your whole dating life, you're thinking, On the one hand, on the other hand. Then you meet the right guy, and you're not in list-making mode; you're just with the person you're supposed to be with. Jobs are like that too.

• Otro defecto de larga data de la política exterior es el grado en que los intereses especiales dictan la forma en que se define y persigue el "interés nacional" en su conjunto.... La importante relación histórica de Estados Unidos con Israel ha llevado a menudo a los responsables de la toma de decisiones en materia de política exterior a remitirse reflexivamente a las valoraciones israelíes sobre la seguridad y a imitar las tácticas israelíes, lo que, como demostró la guerra del Líbano del verano pasado, puede resultar contraproducente.
