Our nation is today a powerful nation.

Everyone must learn from the past.

I am quite aware that a distinction must be drawn between the American government and the American people.

We've never been anti-Semitic.

The days are gone when a country can issue orders to other peoples. Today, mankind needs culture, ideas and logic.

Every year, millions of people from Iran and Iraq travel to each other's countries, and we also have marriages between Iraqis and Iranians. Many Iranians were born in Iraq, and many Iraqis were born in Iran. This is a kind of special, cordial amicable ties.

I will only accept something as truth if I am actually convinced of it.
