“You cannot impose your values on us, otherwise the world will become the law of the jungle.”

We have no interest in seeing an unstable Yemen or seeing a Yemen that is devastated.

That would be a different story. But I don’t think World War III is going to happen in Syria.

Why would we not want to fight an ideology whose objective is to kill us?

The war in Yemen is not a war that we wanted.

So we responded, as part of a coalition, at the request of the legitimate government of Yemen, and we stepped in to support them.

When monarchies were collapsing in a number of countries, we had radicals and we had Nasserism.

We can’t do both. If you want us to lead, don’t criticize us.

We have no issue with seeking to develop the best terms we can with Iran.

We have a legal system, and we have a penal code.

Daesh is attacking us. Their leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, wants to destroy the Saudi state.

Even the disagreement over Syria is more of a tactical one than a strategic one.

Our concern is that Iran will use the income it receives as a result of the lifting of the nuclear sanctions in order to fund its nefarious activities in the region.

The U.S. – the idea that the U.S. has introduced and imposed principles of international law, that’s hardly even a joke.

States are not moral agents, people are, and can impose moral standards on powerful institutions.

Your position never gives you the right to command. It only imposes on you the duty of so living your life that others can receive your orders without being humiliated.

We try to impose order, both in our minds and in our conceptions of external reality.

No one in the American Enterprise imposes their beliefs. We clash, and I think that’s what the West is all about.

People feel that they’re being required to meet all sorts of regulations and rules and requirements in their areas of work and MPs are not imposing those sort of restrictions on themselves.
