As I noted in testimony 4 years ago. we seem too often to approach this region with alternating cycles of panic and neglect. Right now. we are in a panic cycle. Everything seems marked by excess. Against those who talk of stemming the threat of Russian military bases in the region. we have those who talk of abrogating any role in the region. preferring to let a presumed liberation take its course. Still others. of course. talk of stemming a tide of refugees. apparently by rushing into some kind of Marshall plan. Given this situation. it is vital that we find our way out. Thats why the idea of a special Presidential commission appealed to so many people. including this Senator.
