Joe Lieberman spent 24 years in the U.S.Senate elected by the Democrat voters of Connecticut.He now serves as Chairman of United Against Nuclear Iran. He said this about today’s global political climate:

The world has never seemed as dangerous and leaderless as it does now. Only the extremists and bullies act boldly, and therefore they have seized the initiative. It is a moment in history that evokes the haunting words of W.B. Yeats: “The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity. There is more instability in the world today than at any time since the end of World War II. The threats come from emboldened expansionist powers such as Iran, Russia and China, and also terrorist aggressors such as the Islamic State and al-Qaeda. The enemies of freedom are on the march.  The United States has chosen this moment to become more passive in the world.
