You know, different people are going to react different ways. And I don't think we should be intolerable because people do things a little differently.

We believe we are creating the beginning of a new world order coming out of the collapse of the US-Soviet antagonisms.

An idea can be as flawless as can be, but its execution will always be full of mistakes.

America has never seen itself as a national state like all others, but rather as an experiment in human freedom and democracy.

Saddam's ouster will not necessarily lead to the same result, since Iraq lacks democratic traditions. Democracy doesn't just consist of holding elections.
