The problem is that the Iraqi people are facing atrocities from both sides - Zarqawi and also the American troops at times. The Zarqawi groups uses car bombs, the Americans use other bombs. You also know what they do in the prisons.

I believe the main solution is to gain the trust of Europe and America and to remove their concerns over the peaceful nature of our nuclear industry and to assure them that there will never be a diversion to military use.

This democracy... The elections in Iraq were held despite the American opposition. 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.

Passing a tough resolution or threatening Iran will not bring about the desired outcome.

There is no doubt that America is a superpower of the world and we cannot ignore them.

The United States is a big country but unfortunately it seems it has the brain of a little bird not befitting the greatness of the country.

We don't have any bad memories of the people of the United States.
