Politics Can Not Only Be

I've Been Frankly Very Surprised At The Intensity Of Our Differences [with Russia]. I Mean, Between What Appears To Be Hacking Of Our Political System To The Aggressive Use Of Nukes On The Borders, To These Atrocities In Syria And Their Warnings. I've Been Very, Very Surprised At The Intensity Of All This.

I Was Not In Favor Of U.s. Troops In Lebanon. And I Voted Against It.

I Would Only Go To Syria To Destroy Isis. I Would Not Use U.s. Troops To Depose Assad. But I Would Support The Rebels There. It's Okay To Support Those People Who Share Your View. But For The United States To Be Embroiled In A Civil War In Syria Against [bashr] Assad I Think Is A Big Mistake.

God Is A Compass. God Is Not About Who You're Sleeping With Or, I Mean, I Don't Care About That. It's About Loving Your Neighbor. It's About Living A Life That's Bigger Than Yourself. As Time Goes On, Societies Have A Tendency To Put Themselves On The Throne, And That Leads To Self-absorption And That Leads To "life Is All About Me." And There's Not A Compass That Sends You In A Direction Where Life Can't Be Just About You.

A Great Power Has To Have The Discipline Not Only To Go When Necessary But To Know When Not To Go. Getting Involved In Ethnic, Religious Civil Wars Is A Recipe For Disaster.
