Since September 11, the U.S. has significantly improved its security to prevent another attack.

We are living in a world where everything is based on security.

The preservation of our national security and the laws that define us as the United States of America demand that we understand the intersection of the two - indeed, how they reinforce one another.

The example that America knows how to govern itself is one of the compelling aspects of our national security.

Well, human security is a concept that I am very committed to enshrining in American foreign policy.

I think overall our national security is strengthened if we are able to make the decisions that we need and the alliances that we believe in outside the current structures of the European Union.

America needs to be secure at home and abroad.

And I have no doubt that the American people generally believe the world is safer, and that we are safer, when we are stronger.

Global energy security is a vital part of America's national security.

We have to make sure that we are a force for peace and stability in the world, and that we're prepared to defend freedom and the security of the American people.
