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.

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

Who is the guarantor, if there is one, of a more stable world? It's the United States.

First of all, I think the Saudis are deeply concerned about the collapse of negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians and the resumption of conflict.

If you look back at the first Gulf war, the Arabs sent forces, they sent money. So their interests in Iraq are clear, but they're nowhere to be seen now. Why? Because right now, it's dangerous to be seen as supporting the United States.

America wants to work with friends, with allies, with people of good will, to make this a better world.

The Iraqis need help establishing a government. We have to provide them with security.
