“I believe NATO expansion is in the best interest of the United States. Also, expanding NATO will be in the interest of Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary and for that matter--world peace.

Locking democracy into this region is in the United States interest and we should never shirk from our responsibility and duty to see that democracy is spread throughout the world.”
