Congress’s use of investigative power should be very selective CIA and FBI need to return to initial objectives Political freedom is an inherent freedom Weapons proliferation threatens everyone

9 -Richard Haass, President, Council on Foreign Relations. 11/27/2009
All of the above has implications for today's challenges. To be sure, there is no global threat on the scale of the former Soviet Union, but there are dangerous challenges emanating from such countries as Iran and North Korea. What is required is a policy on the part of the global community that mixes military strength with a willingness to negotiate and interact, a policy of collective strength and collective flexibility. -Richard Haass, President, Council on Foreign Relations. 11/27/2009 Explain the significance of this quote.
