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

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.

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

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.

Who knows for what we live, and struggle, and die?…

I know more than most journalists. I know more than most columnists on big, important newspapers.

So what on Earth there isn’t to like about New York? I don’t know. But what you do also have is a load of very ordinary restaurants which you make a terrible fuss about which are really only very average. Which is fine. One doesn’t go to New York for the food.

The uncertainty relation does not refer to the past; if the velocity of the electron is at first known and the position then exactly measured, the position for times previous to the measurement may be calculated.

And I know that if I confess my sins, God is faithful and just to forgive me.

There are a lot of people who don’t know me and what I am all about.

Everything will be all right – you know when? When people, just people, stop thinking of the United Nations as a weird Picasso abstraction and see it as a drawing they made themselves.

Not a lot of people or pros in this game know how to train correctly. That’s why they don’t have a long career. Their body gets banged up. They get into a rhythm of heavy sparring and heavy work, but through that, they’re limiting movement.
