Democracy doesn't just consist of holding elections.

An idea can be as flawless as can be, but its execution will always be full of mistakes.

Democracy doesn't just consist of holding elections.

After all, we didn't bring democracy to Germany in 1945; Hitler destroyed democracy there first.

After the '30s, we said, "no more Munichs." And it got us in a lot of problems. Then we said, "No more Vietnams." Now if we say, "No more Iraqs," the next one won't be an Iraq. It will be something different. You can't learn lessons.

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

Osama bin Laden is going after us to get us out of the region, so he can deal with the regimes that he sees in the region, or replace them with purists.
