"We can't kill our way out of this. If we do nothing except get tougher, we'll have to get tougher multiple times in the future."
"the Arab world: today, it is in chaos. It is descending into an abyss of hell that we are only beginning to see the outlines of."
"As bad as Aleppo is, as bad as Mosul is, I think it's almost certainly going to get much worse."
"The depressing thing is that none of the reasons that produced the Arab Spring -- bad governance, bad economic performance, high unemployment, lack of accountability in government, police behavior, lack of openness for citizens to express their views -- not a single one of those has been addressed to any significant degree."
