History has proven that diplomatic negotiations with these regimes have been a waste of time.

The U.S. must demand that Iran, Syria, and North Korea allow IAEA inspectors to immediately inspect and have access to all nuclear facilities and stockpiles to ensure their safety.
I mean, this is a terrorist organization that carries out terrorism on European soil.
I made what I thought was a forceful argument to them that they need to do this not as a favor to the United States, not as a favor to Israel, but as a responsibility that they have to their constituents.
This is a terrorist organization that carries out terrorism on European soil.
We should point out that Hezbollah and Iran, working together, blew up the Buenos Aires Jewish community center late last century.
Hezbollah and Iran have expanded their operations in Latin America, especially fundraising for illicit activities.
One important step that European countries could take would be to list Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.
Iran, indeed, presents a global challenge to the United States, and Hezbollah is a major part of that challenge.
The Taliban would not be in business in Afghanistan if it was hunted down by the Pakistani national security enterprise as if it was a true enemy of Pakistan.
I doubt very much whether we are going to see a peaceful, unified, progressive state in Afghanistan, but I have no doubt that there will be those advocating for unlimited American resources, treasure, and blood to try to achieve that…
We all want to help those homeowners who are in trouble or underwater, but we should recognize that many of the ways we help actually cost the Federal Government money.

That is FHA's mission, to step forward and play a larger role when we have a downturn.
It is going to be very hard to force this regime to change its behavior and to give up its nuclear weapons.
Iran has no legitimate fears, not even illegitimate fears of Israel. They do not share a border.
Defending that treaty is critical, since without it I am sure there would be dozens of nuclear states and we would have experienced several nuclear wars by now.
The world has avoided the destruction that many predicted when the nuclear genie was unleashed in 1945, chiefly because of the Nonproliferation Treaty.
Whether the worst elements of the Syrian opposition are worse than the worst elements of the Assad regime I leave to another hearing.
As I understand our official human rights formula, it is the number of human rights violations divided by the number of million barrels of oil exported by the relevant country.
We have a lot of capital on the sidelines, as the gentleman from California pointed out.
I want to thank you for the wisdom to recognize that our country needs an expansionary monetary policy.
