We live in dangerous times. and whether you support the agreement or not. we must develop a cohesive strategy for U.S. policy in the Middle East that addresses the grave security concerns in the region.

We should seize this opportunity to play a constructive role in addressing these threats. Our young men and women in the Armed Forces have been asked to sacrifice so much.
