"We need to use all the roots of American power to make our country safe.

America must lead the world's fight against the spread of evil and totalitarianism, but we must stop trying to win that battle on our own.

We should reform and strengthen multilateral institutions for the twenty-first century, not walk away from them.

We need to fortify the military's "thin green line" around the world by adding to the U.S. Special Forces and the Marines, and by expanding the U.S. army by 100,000 more troops.

Finally we must protect our homeland and civil liberties by creating a new domestic counterterrorism force like Britain's MI5.
