But eradicating corruption is not enough to sustain a country.

I couldn't stand the idea of bloodshed, casualties.

I think if someone else other than Reagan, someone less of a hardliner, had been in power then the breakthrough in ending the Cold War would not have happened.

We also have a real opportunity to join NATO.

You know, to address crowds and make promises does not require very much brains.

I think my resignation was the only way to avoid bloodshed.
