...notion that the United States has both the responsibility and the right to ensure world peace, spread democracy, and punish violators of its own enlightened norms—in short, the right to intervene—is ludicrous. This perverse strategy has increased our nation’s enemies, while a prudent one would have reduced and divided them. To be effective, our foreign policy must be markedly less interventionist—the less interventionist, the better, and the safer Americans will be from terrorist attacks...

No carbohydrates. Vegetarianism? No meat. This approach is where we really get in trouble. A traditional Italian would never think that...
...fund raiser Terry McAuliffe said on the morning of Super Tuesday that Obama has generated so much excitement, he would have to be considered for the party's vice-presidential nomination-the Obama people saw a trap. If Obama and his aides lent any credence now to the dangled notion of a partnership, they know that some of his voters might peel off, thinking a vote for Clinton was, in effect, a twofer.
