views issues done
In the United States, there is a broadly shared view that the U.N. is one of many potential instruments to advance U.S. issues, and we have to decide whether a particular issue is best done through the U.N. or best done through some other mechanism.
new-york differences stories
There's no such thing as the United Nations. If the U.N. secretary building in New York lost 10 stories, it wouldn't make a bit of difference.
believe government libertarian
Well, I'm a libertarian conservative, so I believe in limited government/maximum individual freedom.
real reflection law
If I were doing the Security Council today, I'd have one permanent member, the United States, because that's the real reflection of the distribution of power in the world. All international laws are invalid, meaningless attempts to constrict American power.
philosophy government people
My philosophy is not a bean-counting, accounting 'look at this.' It is a philosophy that smaller government is better government, and government that is closer to the people is best of all.
believe constitute daily failed form starting time
I believe in discipline. I think daily briefings constitute a form of intellectual discipline. Starting on time is a form of discipline. I failed today.
