Liberty is a universal human right, and I support the efforts of people across the Middle East to take back control of their lives from their governments.
All parties benefit from an end to the Arab-Israeli conflict. I share former President George W. Bush's vision of two successful, independent states, Israel and Palestine--two peoples, living side by side in peace and security. Since true peace requires a sincere commitment, the parties should negotiate a just and mutually acceptable agreement that is not imposed by the United States or any other outside power.
