Doug Bandow

We are ending our session with Doug Bandow, Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute. His topic this morning is “Defending the American Republic in an Unruly World: Rethinking Conservative Foreign Policy” here are a few notable quotes:

“Terrorism strikes me as the most serious threat we face today…The problem is our current structure does not help fight terrorism… We have a cold war setup.”

“The reason a lot of these countries want nuclear technology isn’t to attack. They just see that the best way to move from a bombed country to a bombing country is to have your own nukes.”

“Most of these countries don’t want military power to match us in combat. They just want to deter us from intervening.”

“We don’t need to be the arbiter of what goes on in the world.”
