The challenge is often greatest when the goal is to push or pull a country across the line separating international scofflaws from respectable members of the world community. I faced such challenges repeatedly as Secretary of State, especially when dealing with a turbulent Iran, a stubborn Libya, and a repressed Cuba.”

Madeleine Albright, Secretaria de Estado de los Estados Unidos 1977-2001

From “Madame Secretary. A Memoir.” New York: Miramax Books, 2003, p.319.
