You can't tell me that all the wars we are fighting are in America's national security interest.
Let me say this: I believe closing Guantanamo is in our Nation's national security interest. Guantanamo is used not only by al-Qaida, but also by other nations, governments, and individuals - people good and bad - as a symbol of America's abuse of Mu...
I've never felt British. I'm just not interested in national identity. I don't know why.
We pay a price when special interests win out over the collective national interest.
Transferring our sovereignty and decisionmaking power to the WTO, to the United Nations, or any other international body is not in the long-term interests of our people.
'Midnight Nation' is really interesting.
