Everybody pursues their national interests. The only one who gets blamed for it is the United States.

The only thing that will stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons is regime change in Tehran.

What we want for the Iranian people is control over their own government, which they don't have now. So you would do it through supplying resources and support from the outside to the indigenous people who are already quite unhappy. The mullahs have made hash of the economy since 1979, there's a huge amount of economic dissatisfaction. The young people, who are pretty well educated and sophisticated, know they could have a better life than this strict Islamic law.

It's not natural disasters that are to blame for the deprivation of the North Korean people, but the failed policies of Kim Jong Il.

People say you favor assassination, what do you think war is? Except that it's assassination on a much larger scale, a much more horrific scale.

If you get a President (Hillary) Clinton, you might well find, just as after Vietnam, that there is a retraction from Iraq and of American influence in the world. And in a couple of years the Europeans will be complaining about that too.

It's very personal in its politics, very bitter and very negative.
