A Nation with our current levels of unsustainable debt cannot hope to sustain for very long its superiority from a military perspective or its influence in world affairs.

You know, or you should, that our national debt has reached a peacetime record, heading for territory where other nations have spiraled into default or into the loss of sovereignty as creditors use their leverage to dictate terms.

A civilian nuclear cooperation agreement would legitimize the Pakistani nuclear weapons program and reward Islamabad for its long history of bad behavior.

Our fellow citizens are not the enemy and must never become so.
