America's primary foreign goal is a terror-free world: Ravi Batra

America is, and must remain, a force for good, and our precious freedoms, which we all take for granted - the very nectar of American Exceptionalism born of our cherished separated powers regime

Permit me a brief relevant sentence about me: I am a New Yorker, having left India when I was 7 years old, and on 9/11 I tasted the dust of WTC. Since then, I see serving the “best interests” of the United States in first eradicating terror — as there are no rights and no law, if terror reigns. I am bold enough to assert that that ought to be America’s Primary Foreign Policy goal: a Terror-Free World. While the tile of today’s Hearing is “Human Rights in South Asia,” its been truncated by some to be the “Kashmir Hearing.”
