Human beings are not like they are portrayed in Hollywood. They are individuals who are a mixture of good and bad.

My Irish passport makes me look like a chief of staff for the Provisional IRA.

I really don't know why the Muslims do what they are doing. Those terrorists don't seem to have a moral code.

My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent.
