The threat of challenging democracies--and as Gregory Meeks brought up, democracy is being challenged.

That is a big hand that we can influence better decisions, and that is what our goal is.

I can't give you democracy. I can help you get it, but you have to have the want and the desire.

The most valuable resource any country has is their people.

What is your opinion on where we should keep going or should we just pull back and pull back everything?

In our forum, we have the government is there to serve the many. Whereas, theirs--their people are to serve the government of a few.

Liberty, freedom, self-will, self-determination. Those are universal beliefs that, I believe--my beliefs are that everybody has those in the world.

We are telling Hun Sen and his gang of criminals that now keep him in power, we are not on your side.

Wherever there is a democracy, they see that as a threat and they have a hand in that.

I think China is in another phase. I don't want to say it is phase two or phase three of their grand scheme.

If the Cambodian Government does not take these steps and does not bring Cambodia on the path to genuine democracy, it is hard to see how the United States and our international partners could accept the legitimacy of next year's…

I think Cambodia could be an easy case and a good opportunity for the U.S. to take leadership in the region and to show that democracy can win.

Everybody has brought up the elections of 2013 and the elections last summer, this past summer, that resoundingly showed the will of the people, you know, is what we saw with the numbers that are favored and the growing popularity and the…

We are in danger, without looking at it as a specific crisis but an ongoing issue, of losing Southeastern Asia, and especially losing the one country that was moving toward democracy, which will now be lost.

We must look at ways to reach out to the world, to our EU partners, our partners in Japan, who are the big trading partners of Cambodia, and speak with one voice that the world will not allow Cambodia to dissent from democracy.

We must support the efforts of our State Department. We must continue to educate. We must make sure that Kem Sokha is released.

I think it is really critically important that we are seeing the lack of legitimacy on the part.

I think that is really important for us to understand, that we have been identified as a co-conspirator in Kem Sokha's alleged crime of treason to topple the Cambodian Government.

Now is the time to come forward.

If the Cambodian Government is unworthy of this, then perhaps we need to allocate it to poorer countries that are moving toward democracy.

I wouldn't say that the United States is at fault of this, but we destroyed the regime.

Libya turned into a failed state. Another failure in American foreign policy to topple a regime and then let it go into disarray.

The United States in my opinion recklessly intervened in Libya in 2011.

I find that very threatening.

I want to tell you how much we really appreciate this.
