Iraq is not occupied, but there are foreign forces on its soil, which is different.

Rather, it is through conciliation and compromise that we are building a fair Iraq, a just state for all its peoples.

Self-determination could mean independence, confederacy, federal and autonomy.

The Kurdish people welcome the no-fly zone protection, contrary to the Iraqi regime that is against it.

Conciliation is not capitulation, nor is compromise to be deemed equivalent to imbalanced concession.

Every human must take responsibility for his actions.

Democracies, unlike dictatorships, are forgiving and generous, but they cannot survive unless they fight.
