“The developed world should neither shelter nor militarily destabilize authoritarian regimes unless those regimes represent an imminent threat to the national security of other states.

“And from the first moment that I ever walked on stage in front of a darkened auditorium with a couple of hundred people sitting there, I was never afraid, I was never fearful, I didn't suffer from stage fright, because I felt so safe on that stage.

So I felt nothing but security for being on stage. And I think that's what drew me to this strange job of playing make-believe.”

Those are our two national security interests at stake in Afghanistan.”
