George Lemieux: “I don't think we can overstate the need to counter violent extremism before it becomes violent.”

It is hard to believe that the response is this anemic.

Certainly if one of our military ships was fired upon by the North Koreans, we would consider it an act of war, wouldn't we?

The time of mutual assured destruction is over. Whether we admit it or not, the world has accepted a nuclear North Korea, and I fear we are prepared to accept a nuclear Iran.

China is not going to be a Russia at all, but we are working with them on these things that are so important, like nuclear smuggling.
