Today we confront the future with optimism from a founded hope for the Iraqi people - in freedom

Disarming Iraq is legal under a series of U.N. resolutions. Iraq is in flagrant violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions.

Appeasement was never a very clever policy, and it should not be our option today.

The harm done to Israel is damage done to the West. And delegitimizing Israel is a delegitimization of the West.

Without economic development, any potential for political openness and freedom will be questionable.

My conviction is that the best strategy to defend the West is to defend Israel.

There are the countries of the north of Europe taking decisions and the countries of the south of Europe that are living under intervention. This division exists.
