2004 Republican National Convention Address, delivered 2 September 2004, Madison Square Garden, New York

From a philosophical perspective, I want to fight off isolationism and protectionism, be it part of another voice out there that says, wait a minute, what matters to women in Afghanistan matters to America. An isolationist point of view says it doesn't matter. The articulation of "all life matters" helps frame the case that it does matter what happens to a woman in Afghanistan.

We are dealing here with killers who have made the death of Americans the calling of their lives.
