Wednesday, March 5, 2003 Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will [America's] heart, her benedictions and her prayers be. But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.
-- John Quincy Adams, Speech to the U.S. House of Representatives [July 4, 1821]
