In the '90s, there was scant presidential leadership and insufficient domestic political mobilization for foreign policy grounded in human rights.

Foreign policy is an explicitly amoral enterprise.

We, as Americans, have an interest in ensuring that the only people who get to vote for our elected leaders are our citizens, and not some foreign people who think that they have an interest in skewing our election in one direction or another.

Countries that intervene militarily rarely do so out of pure altruism.

I think the point that we all agree upon is that we have to engage with Russia.

American decision-makers must understand how damaging a foreign policy that privileges order and profit over justice really is in the long term.

I got into journalism not to be a journalist but to try to change American foreign policy. I'm a corny person. I was a dreamer predating my journalistic life, so I got into journalism as a means to try to change the world.
