Senator Joe Lieberman spoke last night at a Hudson Institute event, where he urged both political parties not to “retreat from the world.”

“We do not live in a ‘post-American world,’” Senator Lieberman said. “We live in a world in which American leadership and American power are more important than ever. The American people intuitively understand that. The fact is we live in a world in which our own security, freedom, and prosperity at home are inseparable from the security, freedom, and prosperity of people in distant lands.”
