You've had an extremely weak euro on the foreign exchange markets, you've had a very dubious policy being followed.

When the euro was born, it was born in the wrong economic circumstances.

The purpose of foreign policy is not to provide an outlet for our own sentiments of hope or indignation; it is to shape real events in a real world.

I don't much believe in bumper sticker characterizations of foreign policy.

Domestic policy can only defeat us; foreign policy can kill us.

Japanese officials make statements like that when we see very rapid movements in the foreign exchange markets because they are concerned such moves can build into stronger trends.
