Lots of countries, like Israel, live with terrorism every day, and it doesn't impact their integrity.

America can restore its strengths as the world-respected land of opportunity by returning to open-society principles. An open society invests in people and new ideas, rewards talent and hard work, values dialogue and learns from dissent, operates to high standards with transparent information, looks for common ground, sees problems as opportunities for creative change, and encourages those who are fortunate to help others get the same chance, because service is the highest ideal. With such standards in mind, America the Beautiful can return to its admired role as America the Principled.
I am telling you, Lebanon was fun. I played for 5,000 people in a sold-out venue. The clubs there don't even open until 4 A.M. If a bomb goes off, people don't get excited. They live every day like it's their last because it could possibly be.
As President, I'll invest in renewable energies like wind power, solar power, and the next generation of homegrown biofuels.

But America was founded on the principle that every person has God-given rights. That power belongs to the people. That government exists to protect our rights and serve our interests.
