I haven't given up on the possibility that sweet reason will prevail.

The European Union can now act like a major power, at least that is what the European Union tells us.

I don't much believe in bumper sticker characterizations of foreign policy.

Everybody pursues their national interests. The only one who gets blamed for it is the United States.

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

Maybe it's my libertarian philosophy: but being in government is hard.

I think the regime in North Korea is more fragile than people think. The country's economic system remains desperate, and one thing that could happen for example would be under a new government in South Korea, to get the South Korean government to live up to its own constitution, which says any Korean who makes it to South Korea, is a Korean citizen. A citizen of the Republic of Korea. And you could imagine the impact that would have inside North Korea if people thought, "If I could get out and make it to South Korea, I could have a different life."
