Though most of the headlines of my early months in office concerned the effort to define,
defend,Painting From Photo, and pass my economic plan; gays in the military; and Hillary’s health-care work,
foreign policy was always there, an ever-present part of my daily routine and concern. The
general impression among Washington observers was that I wasn&rsquo,Cartoon oil painting;t too interested in foreign

affairs and wanted to spend as little time as possible on them. It’s true that the overwhelming
focus of the campaign had been on domestic issues,oil painting reproductions; our economic troubles demanded that.
But, as I had said over and over, increasing global interdependence was erasing the divide
between foreign and domestic policy. And the “new world order&rdquo,Venice oil painting; President Bush had

Early on, my national security advisor, Tony Lake, had declared that success in foreig
is often defined by preventing or defusing problems before they develop into headaches and
headline grabbers. “If we do a really good job,” he said, “the public may never know it,
because the dogs won’t bark.” When I took office, we had a whole kennel full of barking
hounds, with Bosnia and Russia howling the loudest,Still Life oil painting, and several others, including Somalia,
Haiti, North Korea,Romantic oil painting, and Japan’s trade policy, growling in the background.
The breakup of the Soviet Union and the collapse of communism in the Warsaw Pact nations
raised the prospect that Europe might become democratic, peaceful, and united for the first
time in history. Whether it would happen turned on four great questions: Would East and
West Germany be reunited; would Russia become a truly democratic, stable,Seascape oil painting, nonimperial
nation; what would happen to Yugoslavia, a cauldron of diverse ethnic provinces, which had
been held together by the iron will of Marshal Tito; and would Russia and the former
Communist countries be integrated into the European Union and the transatlantic NATO
alliance with the United States and Canada?
By the time I became President, Germany had been reunited under the visionary leadership of
Chancellor Helmut Kohl, with the strong support of President
in Europe about the political and economic power of a resurgent Germany. The other three
questions were still open, and I knew that one of my most important responsibilities as
President was to see that they were answered correctly.
During the election campaign, both President Bush and I had supported aid to Russia. At first
I was more assertive than he was, but after prodding by former president Nixon,Mediterranean oil painting, Bush
announced that the G-7, the seven largest industrial nations—the United States, Germany,
France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Canada,Piano oil painting, and Japan—would provide billion to support
democracy and economic reform in Russia. By the time Yeltsin came to Washington in June
1992 as Russia&rsquo,American oil painting;s president,Michael Jackson paintings, he was grateful and openly supporting Bush’s reelection. As I
mentioned earlier,Paris Street oil painting, Yeltsin did agree to a courtesy meeting with me at Blair House on June 18,Michael Jackson painting,
thanks to the friendship between Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev and Toby Gati, one of my
foreign policy advisors. It didn’t bother me that Yeltsin was supporting B
him to know that if I won, I would support him.
In November, a couple of days after the election, Yeltsin called to congratulate me and to u
me to come to Moscow as soon as possible to reaffirm America&rsquo,African oil painting;s support for his reforms in
the face of mounting opposition at home. Yeltsin had a hard row to hoe. He had been elected
president of Russia in June 1991, when Russia was still part of the crumbling Soviet Union. In
August, Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev was put under house arrest at his summer retreat
