I believe the United States is the greatest country on Earth. I really do.

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.

As even a democracy like the United States has shown, waging war can benefit a leader in several ways: it can rally citizens around the flag, it can distract them from bleak economic times, and it can enrich a country's elites.

I like to think that as I get older I'm getting better at spending time with people who have qualities that make them worth spending time with.

When I wake up in the middle of the night when I hear one of my kids coughing or crying, I think about Syria.

Re-examining our reasoning is not something that has come naturally to American statesmen.

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