परमाणु हथियारों से भरी इस दुनिया का परिणाम खतरों के लिहाज़ से मेरी समझ से बिल्कुल परे है।
The consequence of a world full of nuclear powers to me is so incomprehensible in terms of the dangers that that implies.

ऐसे कई अन्य आतंकवादी ठिकाने हैं जिन पर हमें ध्यान देना चाहिए। जैसे, सीरिया है, जो ईरान की वजह से हिज्बुल्लाह और अन्य संगठनों को हथियार मुहैया करा रहा है—जिससे फिलिस्तीन और इज़राइल में भारी तबाही मच रही है। हमें इसे रोकने के लिए कुछ न कुछ ज़रूर करना चाहिए।
There are a lot of other terrorist targets we ought to be focusing on. Well, there is Syria, for example, which is pumping through - because of Iran, is pumping weapons on into Hezbollah and so forth - which is then producing a lot of agony in Palestine and in Israel. We ought to be doing a bit to try to stop that.

असली सवाल यह है कि हम दूतावास के अधिकारियों की सोच को अमेरिकी कारोबारी समुदाय की मानसिकता से कैसे जोड़ें। सांख्यिकी के आंकड़ों को समझने की तुलना में यह कहीं अधिक कठिन काम है।
The question really is how do we get Embassy Officers into the minds of the American business community. That is a much more difficult task than understanding a statistical matrix.

मुद्दा यह है कि एक बार जब उनके पास ऐसा मिसाइल आ जाता है जो संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका तक मार कर सके, तो हम फिर से उसी खेल में लौट आएंगे जिसकी चिंता हमें सोवियत संघ के समय हुआ करती थी—बस फर्क यह है कि मुझे लगता है सोवियत संघ इस पूरे मामले में उत्तर कोरिया की तुलना में अधिक समझदार था।
The point is, once they have a missile that can hit the United States, we are now back in the kind of game we used to worry about with the Soviet Union, only the Soviet Union was more mature about this whole thing than I think the North Koreans will be.

अगर आप अफ़ग़ानिस्तान के इतिहास पर नज़र डालें, तो आमतौर पर वे किसी बाहरी दुश्मन का मुकाबला करने के लिए एकजुट होते हैं, और जैसे ही वह काम पूरा होता है, वे आपस में ही एक-दूसरे को मारने लगते हैं। यह अंदरूनी अस्थिरता हमेशा से बाहरी ताकतों को दावत देती आई है। मुझे लगता है कि तालिबान के उन डरावने सालों के बाद, ज़्यादातर अफ़्गान शांति से रहना चाहते होंगे और अपने नए पाए गए स्वतंत्रता के लाभ उठाना चाहते होंगे। लेकिन मैं इस बात की गारंटी नहीं दे सकता कि उनकी पुरानी आदतें फिर से सिर नहीं उठाएंगी।
If you take a look at Afghan history, usually they have united to defend against an outside enemy, and as soon as that's accomplished, they turn and start killing each other. This internal instability is a constant invitation to outside forces to come in. I have to think that after the awful years of the Taliban, most Afghans would want to remain at peace, and get the benefits of the new freedom they've found. But I can't be sure that old habits won't reassert themselves.

अगर जॉर्ज बुश [जूनियर] ने इसके बाद सीरिया और ईरान पर अपनी सेनाएं छोड़ने का फैसला किया, तो वे बमुश्किल 15 मिनट ही अपनी कुर्सी पर टिक पाते। बल्कि अगर राष्ट्रपति बुश अब ऐसा करने की कोशिश करें, तो मुझे भी यही लगेगा कि उन्हें पद से हटाने (महाभियोग) की कार्रवाई होनी चाहिए। इस लोकतंत्र में आप ऐसी मनमानी नहीं कर सकते।
If George Bush [Jr.] decided he was going to turn the troops loose on Syria and Iran after that he would last in office for about 15 minutes. In fact if President Bush were to try that now even I would think that he ought to be impeached. You can't get away with that sort of thing in this democracy.

मुझे लगता है कि उनका यह मानना है — और हो सकता है वे सही हों, मुझे नहीं पता — कि हमारे पास कुछ ऐसी खुफिया जानकारियां हैं जिनसे हमें इराक की स्थिति के बारे में कुछ ऐसी बातें पता चलती हैं जो हमने दूसरों के सामने उजागर नहीं की हैं।
I think what he's - what he believes, and he may be correct, I don't know, that we have some intelligence information that leads us to know some things about what's going on in Iraq that we haven't revealed to others.

विदेश विभाग, वाणिज्य विभाग और अमेरिकी कारोबारी समुदाय के बीच एक स्वाभाविक साझेदारी है, जो अमेरिका को विदेशी बाजारों में मार्केटिंग के बारे में शिक्षित करने के लिए मिलकर काम करती है।
There is a natural partnership between State and Commerce, and the American business community to work together to educate the United States about marketing overseas.

हिजबुल्लाह है, हमास है, फिलिस्तीन और इजराइल से जुड़े आतंकवादियों के ऐसे ढेरों ठिकाने हैं जिनसे हमें निपटने की कोशिश करनी चाहिए। और फिलीपींस, इंडोनेशिया में भी ऐसे बहुत सारे ठिकाने हैं। आप नाम लीजिए, ऐसी अनगिनत जगहें हैं जहां ऐसे आतंकवादी ठिकाने मौजूद हैं जिनसे हमें सख्ती से निपटना चाहिए।
There's Hezbollah, there's Hamas, there is a whole range of terrorist targets out there related to Palestine and to Israel that we ought to be trying to deal with. And there's a great deal of targets in the Philippines, Indonesia. You name it, there are a number of places where there are targets that we ought to be trying to deal with.

मेरा मानना है कि आज नहीं तो कल हमें सद्दाम हुसैन से निपटना ही होगा, क्योंकि उसकी समग्र छवि ऐसी है, और जिस तरह के आतंकवाद और उसे मिलने वाले समर्थन में उसकी संलिप्तता को लेकर मैं आश्वस्त हूं, उसके चलते यह जरूरी है। लेकिन मैं बिल्कुल आश्वस्त नहीं हूं कि यह काम अभी इसी वक्त किया जाना चाहिए।
I believe that sooner or later we're going to have to deal with Saddam Hussein, because of his general reputation, because of what I'm convinced he's done with regard to terrorism and the support thereof. But I'm not at all sure I believe that it has to be right now.

साफ कहूं तो, अगर स्थिति वास्तव में नियंत्रण से बाहर हो गई, तो एक परमाणु युद्ध ही आखिरी परमाणु युद्ध — यानी आखिरी युद्ध साबित होगा। और मुझे बिल्कुल नहीं लगता कि हमें इस तरह के अंजाम को भुगतने के लिए तैयार रहना चाहिए।
One nuclear war is going to be the last nuclear - the last war, frankly, if it really gets out of hand. And I just don't think we ought to be prepared to accept that sort of thing.

वैसे इस पर मेरा अपना नजरिया यह है कि अगर आतंकवाद के खिलाफ यह युद्ध समय के साथ सफल होता है, तो यह अपने आप में सद्दाम को ऐसे घेरे में ले लेगा कि उसके लिए अपनी सत्ता बचाए रखना बेहद मुश्किल हो जाएगा और वह धीरे-धीरे पूरी तरह अलग-थलग पड़ जाएगा। मुझे लगता है कि इसमें थोड़ा समय लगेगा।
My own view of this, by the way, is, if the war on terrorism is successful over time, in its own way it's going to box Saddam in in a way that's going to make it much more difficult for him to maintain his power, and that he's going to become increasingly isolated. I think that's going to take time.

सबसे आदर्श स्थिति तो यह होगी कि दूतावास में मौजूद हर व्यक्ति अमेरिकी निर्यात को बढ़ावा देने में अपना योगदान दे।

जो भी राजदूत या विदेश सेवा अधिकारी अपनी अक्ल का पूरा इस्तेमाल करता है, वह अच्छी तरह जानता है कि दुनिया में अमेरिका की स्थिति काफी हद तक इस बात पर निर्भर करती है कि हम वैश्विक बाजारों में मुकाबला करने में कितने सक्षम हैं।
Any Ambassador or Foreign Service Officer who has his or her head screwed on right knows that the U.S. position in the world is far more dependent on our ability to compete in world markets.
