We all talk about transparency and accountability, but we don't see it, and we don't follow through.

And that is what I see is, I mean, we are doing the same thing over and over again, but we are not getting the results we want.

I think Libya is very rocky indeed.

We believe in human rights, we believe in freedom of expression--or religious freedoms and all that.

To promote and to try to force human rights on an Islamic country when they don't believe the way we do, I don't see how you can do that without taking complete control over a country.

Arming them is a bad thing to do. I mean, we have tried that.

I would love for everybody in the world to have that and experience that, but reality is we are not there yet.

I have read all your stuff in here, and what I look forward to is redirecting our foreign policy in a way that it is not interventionism.

We want to separate religion from the politics; we want the religious freedom.

History will not remember the words of our enemy, but will remember the silence of our friends.

Providing a weapon to the rebels in Syria will be a mistake that the innocent people will pay the price for it, especially the minorities.

I believe that the American people is tired of using their tax money to support terrorist groups, such as the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and elsewhere.

Money does talk. The United States should be using assistance to ensure recipient countries and entities have a plan that is implemented to protect vulnerable religious minorities.

I want America to be the magnet in the world that people look to and aspire to...

I would urge caution to those so desperate to label Hassan Rouhani as a reformist or moderate.

The people never really had a choice. They were forced to choose from one of Khamenei's candidates, and this is what Khamenei wanted.

These elections were anything but free and fair. It is not fair when half of the population is disqualified from running because they are of the wrong gender, or they are a religious minority.

But graft and corruption does take place.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and I appreciate your opening remarks, reaching more with less, and I commend you guys for being here.

I just feel so bad for the people that are in those 43 NGOs that have been convicted.

America has paid a heck of a price for the conflicts we have had, and yet you talk about the freedom and liberation in Iraq.

I don't believe anywhere in there it says about a foreign intervention, and I believe our Founding Fathers said honest and open trade and commerce with all nations, honest and true friendship with all nations, intermingling with none.

I look forward to hearing feedback from you guys and thinking outside of the box of how we can fix this situation.

I think our interventionist policies have been a dangerous thing, and what I am hearing is the same thing.

But if you look at over the course of the last 30 years there's been several times just like now.
