I believe that the United States has a unique opportunity to positively influence the rule of law, economic development, human rights, and trade of other countries.  We must maintain relations with the international community so we can fight terrorism in a coordinated fashion. In doing so, we not only can make the world more stable, but we can also learn from other countries’ experiences to improve our domestic policy.
