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

Each department and institution has its own authorities and responsibilities, and they act on that basis.

Iran is determined to use peaceful nuclear technology and no intimidation or threat can make us give it up.

If (the West) shows its rigidity by making unjust decisions and putting their threats into practice, the Iranian people will not be the only ones to pay the price.

I think the elections have gone well, although there is so much insecurity in Iraq. So far during the counting of ballots.

We have no problems with Jews and highly respect Judaism as a holy religion.

We want all the Palestinians back in their homeland, and then there can be a fair referendum for people to choose the form of state they want. Whoever gets the majority can rule.

When al-Qaeda was on the run from Afghanistan crossing through Iran, some were arrested and they are imprisoned. Some of them are charged with some actions in Iran.

I only know that the sole option is to leave Iraq to 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.

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.

To be different you must strive to be what no one else but you can be. Don’t be so concerned with the opinions of others; those who follow the quiet, creative voice from within are both fortunate and correct.

We are a compound of both here and hereafter; we shall be made responsible for the actions of both while here. Anything beyond this is beyond our power to prove, and would be of no real value if we could.

Both the IDB and Fundacion ALAS believe that the future of prosperity and equality that we hope for has to start today with higher investment and higher quality in Early Childhood Development programs throughout the region.

I suppose these ginks who argue that way hold that because the rich man gets ice in the summer and the poor man gets it in the winter things are breaking even for both. Maybe so, but I’ll swear I can’t see it that way.

In war, as it is waged now, with the enormous losses on both sides, both sides will lose. It is a form of mutual suicide.

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and to have one hell of a good time. Sometimes, this makes planning the day difficult.

Billy Joel and Joe Jackson were both great, and they both play piano.

He that has seen both sides of fifty has lived to little purpose if he has no other views of the world than he had when he was much younger.
