I think America has to do more than be a broker now. Because both the Palestinians are weak and Israel is very weak.

If Iraq were to descend into chaos, the Europeans would feel the effects just as much as we would.

Progress is only possible if the United States and its allies work together.

Yes, Israel's our ally. But, are the Palestinians our enemy? No, they are not.

For most of mankind, the average person knew what was happening in his own village and the next one, and nothing beyond that, and he didn't care, so that leaders were able to guide their countries almost irrespective of what people really thought because they weren't involved in it. Now, everybody knows what's happening instantaneously.

I don't think the Chinese look out at the world and want to overturn the system.
