And I don't think that's where the American people are on this. This is a serious threat. This is a serious threat to us and to Israel. The question is how to handle it. And President Trump said, we are not the policemen of the world. He ran on that, and now he's turned us into the world's policemen, into its jury, into its judge, into its executioner. And just because we have the most advanced military in the world, Senator Times has that we should be in a perpetual war all around the world. Thank you, Mr. Chair. (07:08–07:20)
