I'm Not Saying That You Need A State Department That Looks Like The Litigation Department Of A Major Law Firm. But You Need People Who Are Not Afraid To Make The Case For The United States, Who Are Not Afraid To Stand Their Ground, Not Afraid To Be Isolated In International Organizations When That's The Correct Approach For Our Diplomacy.
