I hope this administration will summarily reject the notion that democracy needs to be redefined somehow in order so that we can accommodate tyrants.

I believe President Obama's colloquy with Medvedev gives me grave concerns on a host of foreign policy and national security issues.

I am wondering what action, if any, was taken to expose this apparent criminality.

Can you cite any progress in democratic reforms on the island that have resulted from that policy?

the result of that policy, which I often refer to as unilateral concessions to the dictatorship, have been well documented.

Well, of course that contact did not begin with this administration. We have always had travel, family unification and other types of licensed travel to Cuba, and it hasn't resulted in any democratic reforms.

I believe the strongest possible sanctions and the maximum possible diplomatic isolation of Iran...

And my goal is to keep introducing the strongest possible sanctions bills against Iran until that government changes its policies.

Somehow over the years there has been this romanticism with this revolution. You know, this revolution brought dictators--dictators for over 50 years.

It is wholly justified, and hopefully more people throughout the United States and throughout the world will be listening.

This administration needs to step up the focus and the effort to condemn Cuba, condemn the Castro dictatorship.
