• I spent several years in a North Vietnamese prison camp in the dark, fed with scraps. Do you think I want to do that all over again as vice president of the United States?

Neither one of those are very challenging as compared to being able to live for a good part of the time in the state of Arizona.

• Our leaders are cruel because only those willing to be inordinately cruel and remorseless can hold positions of leadership in the foreign policy establishment.

Nor do they want to.
