Brokenness is the operative issue of our time - broken souls, broken hearts, broken places.

My basic feeling about military intervention is that it should be a last resort, undertaken only to stave off large-scale bloodshed.

In the 2000 election, George W. Bush, who had shirked military service, succeeded in presenting himself as more reliable on national security than Al Gore.

Democracies are expense-averse and they think in terms of short-term, political interests rather than a long-term interest in stability.

I joke that I spent 38 years scouring the globe, going to war zones, trying to find the person with my exact birthday.

Brokenness is the operative issue of our time - broken souls, broken hearts, broken places.

My kids are my salvation.... It's a delight to walk in and get charged by a five-year-old and a two-year-old. That'll make you forget the darkness.
