“I have no idea what the U.S. intends to do further there and what would be the reaction of the Iraqi people.”

There has not been a significant complaint. We have to wait to see what the outcome of the counting is.

It was the will of the Iraqi people and the religious authorities. [The elections] were the result of pressure by Ayatollah Sistani, by the Iraqi religious authorities, and by the fighting forces in Iraq on America. They left the US no choice but to allow the elections.

We did not treat the Americans badly. They left Iran in a relaxed mood.

The Zarqawi groups uses car bombs, the Americans use other bombs. You also know what they do in the prisons.

Europe resolved a great problem-the problem of the Zionist danger.

If we have any problems, it’s always with the government of the United States.

I think that Americans should gradually begin to adopt positive behavior rather than doing evil.

There is no doubt that America is a superpower of the world and we cannot ignore them.

I was president then. I’m not president now. When I said it, this would be a sign of goodwill to begin the talks.

The embassy was active here after the revolution. We didn’t have any problem with them. They started it.

The possibility of a war under the current circumstances is not far-fetched and there is some evidence for that.

The problem is that the Iraqi people are facing atrocities from both sides – Zarqawi and also the American troops at times.

Passing a tough resolution or threatening Iran will not bring about the desired outcome.

It is wrong to even compare such actions to what is done in Guantanamo or elsewhere by the Americans. They do not stand on a high moral platform to preach to others.

They should not expect an immediate reaction in return for their positive measures. It will take time.

The Zionists, who constituted a strong political party in Europe, caused much disorder there.

He implies that it is possible to demonstrate logically and experimentally the relationship between the proposed means and the ends they are intended to further.

Maybe I’m just farsighted. The further away something is, the better I can see it but once it gets close, I lose sight of it.

The difficulty of saying I-a phrase from the East German novelist Christa Wolf. But once having said it, as we realize the necessity to go further, isn’t there a difficulty of saying ‘we’? You cannot speak for me.

It’s financial of course, but it’s also the lifestyle choices. The more money people have the further away from each other they often want to be.

I feel I can serve to the best of my abilities, and where I feel I can make a real difference, and further their cause.

Unintelligence could go no further! … In Great Britain, the situation is similar. … Until the figures are reversed, … nations deceive themselves as to what they care about most.

We are only what we are; not what we would be; nor every thing we hope for. We are but a step in a scale, that reaches further above us than below.

I deal in emotions. It’s the harmonic side that’s important. That’s the side I expected to be much further along on than I am now. That just means to say that I’ve got to keep at it.
