The rest of the world cares about how we conduct our affairs because they then take that lead. We’re the only leader in the world today.

It’s a tribal state, and it always will be. Whether we like it or not, whenever we withdraw from Afghanistan, whether it’s now or years from now, we’ll have an incendiary situation. Should we stay and play traffic cop? I don’t think that serves our strategic interests. Jon Huntsman, Jr. Read Quote
