It’s being really hard to me to try to explain my feelings and my opinions about Iraq war, because I don’t have a good command of English. So I plead to you to understand me in the most loving, tough but firm, style.

No, but it is not an evil empire, and they think that anyway. They think what they enjoy thinking.

If someone is big and powerful, everybody wants to find faults and problems and mistakes and flaws with that person. It is the same thing with countries.

So, I would rather be right than popular. Popular is temporary. Right is permanent.
If I were an empire I’d rather to command respect because of my negotiation capability, my talent to make up for poor countries, my acts for remedding the hunger around the world, my intelligence, my diplomacy and my ability to resolve national and inernational conflicts with these wirtues I’ve mentioned, but not only because of my army and my force.

But you think is about the killed kurdish and it happened 15 years ago. Also you think is about the killed Iraqi and Kuwait people and it happened 12 years ago.

By the way, then is it not about the weapons of massive destruction?
