James Baker cytaty

James Addison Baker III – amerykański polityk i dyplomata, od 1981 do 1988 jedna z kluczowych postaci w administracji Ronalda Reagana, do 1985 jako szef personelu Białego Domu, a następnie sekretarz skarbu. Od 1989 do 1992 sekretarz stanu USA, a następnie do 1993 ponownie szef personelu Białego Domu, w administracji George’a H.W. Busha.

Choć od 1993 nie jest już formalnie politykiem, Baker nadal odgrywa znaczącą rolę w amerykańskim życiu politycznym. W 2000, jako jeden z najbardziej zaufanych przyjaciół rodziny Bushów, służył jako główny doradca prawny w kampanii wyborczej George’a W. Busha, reprezentując go w procesie prawnym który doprowadził do uznania go za zwycięzcę kontrowersyjnych wyborów w stanie Floryda.

W 2006 Baker był jednym z dwóch przewodniczących Irackiej Grupy Studyjnej, powołanej do przebadania amerykańskiego zaangażowania w Iraku. Wikipedia

James Baker: Cytaty po angielsku

“"You must tell them that there must be a new union or there will be chaos," he [Shevardnadze] implored me. That evening, when I hosted republic leaders for dinner — a mixed group of presidents, prime ministers, and foreign ministers — I saw around the table and in the conversation a microcosm of the post-coup Soviet Union’s potential — and its problems. Whatever euphoria that they felt with their post-putsch independence declarations had given way to a marked degree of realism. "Independence sounds nice, but we have to live, and we have to be practical," observed the Prime Minister of Moldova, Valeriu Muravsky. That was the persistent theme that I heard from every one of the republic leaders, with the sole exception of the Georgian Prime Minister, Vissarion Gugushvili, though even he spoke of the need for economic cooperation once Georgian independence was recognized internationally.”

The Politics of Diplomacy: Revolution, War and Peace 1989-1992 (1995) by James Addison Baker, p. 531
1995

“My view is that you don't just talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies, as well. And the diplomacy involves talking to your enemies. You don't reward your enemies necessarily, by talking to them if you're tough and you know what you're doing. You don't appease them. Talking to an enemy is not, in my view, appeasement. I made 15 trips to Syria in 1990-1991 at a time when Syria was on the list of countries who are state sponsors of terrorism. And the 16th trip, guess what? Lo and behold, Syria changed 25 years of policy and agreed for the first time in history to come sit at the table with Israel, which is what Israel wanted at the time. And, thereby, implicitly recognized Israel's right to exist. Now, all I'm saying is that would never have happened if we hadn't been sufficiently dedicated that we were going to keep at it.”
