I'd like to be a president [known] as somebody who liberated 50 million people and helped achieve peace.

Those who heralded the decision not to give law enforcement the tools necessary to protect the American people just simply don't see the world the way we do.

We know that dictators are quick to choose aggression, while free nations strive to resolve differences in peace.

Iran is an ancient land, home to a proud culture with a rich heritage of learning and progress. The future of Iran will be decided by the people of Iran. Right now, the Iranian people are struggling with difficult questions about how to build a modern 21st century society that is at once Muslim, prosperous, and free. There is a long history of friendship between the American people and the people of Iran. As Iran's people move towards a future defined by greater freedom, greater tolerance, they will have no better friend than the United States of America.

So long as I'm the president, my measure of success is victory -- and success.

Free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction.

I'm mindful in a free society that people can worship if they want to or not. You're equally an American if you choose to worship an almighty and if you choose not to.
