The justice of our cause must be reflected in the manner in which we rectify the crimes of the past.

Our gratitude to the American people is immense and we should never be embarrassed to express it.

Military confrontation is not a suitable alternative in confronting terror and current security threats.

We must acknowledge that for scores of years the Iraqis have offered martyrs and victims but have not been able to change the regime.

A greater international role is important to lift some of the burden from the shoulders of the United States.

We need to make a distinction between misled Iraqis, those who believe that they are carrying weapons to liberate Iraq from what they call occupation, and criminal gangs that came from outside and wants to wage a deadly war on the Iraqi people, killing women and children in mosques and churches.

Justice for the major perpetrators cannot be separated from the vindication of the rights of the individual victim.
