Non-citizen terrorist suspects are not members of the American national community, and they have no proper claim on the rights Americans accord one another.
From Richard Perle
National sovereignty is an obligation as well as an entitlement. A government that will not perform the role of a government forfeits the rights of a government.
Nor should we exclude the possibility that Islamic terrorism may begin to make common cause with Western political extremists of the far Left and far Right.
Dictators must have enemies. They must have internal enemies to justify their secret police and external enemies to justify their military forces.
Acknowledge that a more closely integrated Europe is no longer an unqualified American interest.
But if the UN cannot or will not revise its rules in ways that establish beyond question the legality of the measures the United States must take to protect the American people, then we should unashamedly and explicitly reject the jurisdiction of these rules.
Dictatorships start wars because they need external enemies to exert internal control over their own people.
Few governments in the world, for example, praise human rights more ardently than does the government of France, and few have a worse record of supporting tyrants and killers.
In any event, the problem in Iran is much bigger than weapons. The problem is the terrorist regime that seeks the weapons. The regime must go.
In time, all of Korea will be united in liberty.
