America has a critical role to play as the most powerful member of the world community.

The legacy of the Armenian Genocide is woven into the fabric of America.

Winning the war on terrorism will also require a level of moral clarity that can provide a vision for struggling people and nations everywhere.

I would strongly urge the Donald Trump administration to pick someone who is completely apolitical, who doesn't come out of the political process, someone who is a retired judge or an acting judge willing to step down from their judgeship, someone ideally who has prosecutorial experience, but someone who could come in and give credibility to the Russia investigation that is severely in jeopardy.

We need Democrats and Republicans in Congress to work together to fashion a very comprehensive pushback to Russia, not just the cyber-hacking, but their bribery of officials in Europe, their social media campaign, their overt media campaign.
