Dana Rohrabacher

I am very pleased when you talk about ending the banking for human trafficking.

I will vote yes on your en bloc amendments, and thank you very much for providing such very necessary legislation.

I would hope the job of--our job is to see what we can to goose the private sector into investing in it

Ronald Reagan used to say that a government program is the next best thing to eternal life on this planet.

Let's find out the specific tyrants and criminals that are plaguing innocent people, like the people of Cambodia, and hold them specifically responsible.

We need the Cambodian community to provide us a list of specific corporations and individuals, and then we can work on legislation that will require our State Department to investigate these particular individuals.

Don't wait for the American military might to displace Hun Sen.

We should--we have a thing called the Magnitsky Act... let's find out the specific tyrants and criminals that are plaguing innocent people, like the people of Cambodia, and hold them specifically responsible.

I will make you a deal. I will retire from Congress if you will retire from being the President of Cambodia.

That decision, that one decision, has condemned the people of Cambodia to oppression and corruption never--we never imagined.

Hun Sen has got to go. The United States is on the side of the Cambodian people who want a more democratic and honest government, and that is that.

as Mr. Rohrbacher pointed out.

If nothing else, today, we are telling the people of Cambodia, we are on your side.

I remember that after--we realized that the plight of the Cambodian people is something that was set in course because of America's foolish war in Vietnam.

America just can't do it for you. This is not going to be a gift.

Just a couple thoughts. And if we have a list of names of people that should be investigated and to see if they are engaged in human rights abuses, but also in total corruption and harmful corruption to their society, those names should be…

Should we offer Hun Sen a deal, this happens with all tyrants, by the way, that says, get out of town and you can keep your ill-gotten gains.

You have got to hold people accountable. I do think the people of Cambodia will reach a breaking point where they will have to at some point say, we are going to be engaged in something that will force Hun Sen out.

Do you think he does? No. Why should he? In fact, his gang is buffeted.

I think that if we are going to help, rather than just trying to be holier than thou about human rights violations, that this is our stance, let us agree and try to help them develop.

A Pax Americana will last a short period of time if we did that.

I don't believe that we can have a Pax Americana. We have to be really a little bit more thoughtful.

I don't think we will ever be able to afford what appears to be the development of an idea that we have a Pax Americana.

I think the greatest mistakes, there were two great mistakes made by the United States in my lifetime. One was to send combat troops into Vietnam, and the other is to send combat troops to get rid of Saddam Hussein.

We have to cope with the fact that we're trying to find intelligent life here in Washington, DC. right now so--especially on budget issues.
