"Today's silence flies in the face of an American history where Theodore Roosevelt complained about Soviet pogroms, and Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter raised human rights issues."

"We have leverage to move the United Nations to be a force speaking out against China's treatment of political dissidents and North Korean refugees."

"The reason for the 'no,' I do believe, is that there is that undue fear."
