"We must reject the idea of isolationism, . But that doesn't mean we should get involved in every civil war around the world."

The United States presents a value system to the world that is based on democracy, based on economic freedom, based on individual rights for men and women, .. I think that is what makes us such a draw for nations around the world. People come to the United States to be educated, to become Americans. We are a country of countries and we touch every country, and every country in world touches us.

— Colin Powell
