I want a return for that and I know they want a return.

What are we trying to accomplish? Are we accomplishing democracy?

We are putting all this money in there to promote these things, yet we see what's going on in Venezuela...

What I see is a U.N. type organization in the Western Hemisphere that is as inept as the United Nations.

I really think the U.S. has a huge role to play and they haven't done it.

I think it's a very ineffective agency and I think--I would like to hear what your thoughts are.

The goal here is not to shame people, but the goal here is to get people to be honest actors in the world we live in.

I found it shocking that the United States did not have a definition of what a cybersecurity threat was.

This is such a very important topic, the cybersecurity of the United States of America and around the world

Ideally, that's what we'd like to accomplish is have a vibrant democracy over there in the form that fits their country best to empower their people the best.

Unfortunately, that is one of those weapons that we wish we could uninvent but we can't.

If that nuclear arsenal is controlled by the Taliban or by the extremists or the Islamic fundamentalist groups, then it will be very, very dangerous and horrible for the whole world.

What we see around the world in so many countries is not a true democracy, you know, where the people are empowered.

But I don't see that happening and what we have around the world is people have hijacked religions or bastardized them.

I think the real key is to have a long-term commitment, an unconditional commitment to democratization in Pakistan.

You would think, you know, one of the things that would bring us all together would be to have a common goal in stomping out radicalism in any shape and form--that we'd all come together and we could agree on that and then move beyond that…

What we have seen is--and I think it was Mr. Laghari, you brought up one of the shortfalls of our foreign policy and most grave is us not understanding the local cultures, tribe mentality, or the power structures that we don't have here…

I don't think we should sever our relationship with Pakistan but I think there is a need to seriously think about shifting our focus to dealing with and building our partnerships with civilian and political leaders.

I think what they will find out in Pakistan and other countries with this One Belt One Road, it's a one-way street that heads toward China for China's benefit.

We really value you being here and we want to thank you for your time.

I would argue that's the wrong approach because China has shown a history of really China-centric involvement.

Mr. Rohrabacher has been out there consistently, hammering that home pretty much every meeting we have.

We should consider officially recognizing the Durand Line as the international border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The Trump administration has strongly condemned Pakistan for its safe havens for terrorist organizations including the Taliban.

A democratic Pakistan that respects the rule of law will be a true ally of the United States.
