Madeleine Albright
The capability of negotiating... is something that means you not only have to understand fully what you believe and what your national interests are but in order to be a really good negotiator, you have to try to figure out what the other person on the other side of the table has in mind.
Madeleine Albright
My deepest regret from my years in public service is the failure of the United States and the international community to act sooner to halt these crimes.
Madeleine Albright

Madeleine Albright
