Well, I'm a libertarian conservative, so I believe in limited government/maximum individual freedom.

The Nobel Peace Prize has become hopelessly politicized. I think it cheapens the prize itself.

You have to negotiate from positions of strength. And right now with Iran, we're not negotiating from a position of strength. The Europeans are negotiating from the position of "Please give up your nuclear weapons program, and by the way if you do we'll give you several boatloads of carrots." The Iranians are quite willing to keep on negotiating on that line for a long time.

The Iranian government is the government that supplied the arms on the Karin-A to the Palestinian Authority several years ago, they are the world's largest central banker for terrorism, if they thought it was in their interest to give a terrorist group a nuclear weapon to use against America or against Israel, I don't think they'd hesitate.

I think it's critical that we return national security issues to the center of the overall political debate in America.

North Korea is going to get away with keeping its nuclear weapons.

Every country has an aspect to it that rubs up people the wrong way.
