I am still profoundly troubled by the war in Nicaragua. The United States launched a covert war against another nation in violation of international law, a war that was wrong and immoral.

The mere fact of an American being present could help save the lives of innocent people. That's why I believe in the importance of bearing witness, to become a voice for the voiceless.

I am closer to a European viewpoint of the world than an American one. My ethics and ideals are based on European concepts.

I believe the only time when we can call for intervention is when there is an ongoing genocide.

Look at what President Kennedy managed to achieve during the Cuban missile crisis. If Bush had been president in 1962, do you think he would have avoided a nuclear war?

The Sandinista revolution was without any question a popular insurrection.

I believe President Bush is one of the most dangerous leaders in the world. He is not in search of peaceful and diplomatic solutions.
