Senator Chuck Hagel has long been admired by his colleagues on both sides of the Senate floor for his honesty, integrity, and common-sense approach to the challenges of our times.

He confronts foreign policy problems that the current administration has bungled or ignored, including China's growing economy; control of U.S. debt; India's and Pakistan's nuclear capabilities; and Iran's aggressive political, ideological, and nuclear stances. He decries the pervasive disease of third world poverty, arguing convincingly that this is where the real fight against terrorism must begin. Always true to the beliefs instilled in his childhood on the prairie, he speaks passionately about serviceto one's country and to one's fellow citizensas the path toward a renewed America. And, of course, he gives a candid examination of the debacle that is the Iraq War.A staunch Republican yet a "e;hero to liberals"e; (Time), Hagel asks the tough questions and delivers straight answers to America's most pressing problems.
