While we may be of different faiths, we have a strong sense of faith, family, community. We hold the values of freedom and human rights very high and I think that those are all a part of a very strong quilt that binds us together.

Theres a difference between, as I always say, the destination, the end point, and the journey. The journey has a lot of twists and turns. It isnt always pretty.

We believe very passionately that an international approach is necessary to achieve some of these goals.

We should seek international support for our mutual objectives abroad, in promoting freedom, democracy, respect for human rights, and also the elimination of weapons of mass destruction.

We need to have a strong economy that can create employment opportunities and that can also produce the revenue that we need to defend our country at home and abroad.

There isn't any air power in the world that can take care of the problem of sectarian divisions.

It may not necessarily be the way I would like to see it happen, but the reality is we could still bring millions of people out of the darkness into the light.
