Nature is reminding us that it used to exist without human beings.

History punishes those that come late to it.

I paid too heavy a price for perestroika.

There is only one superpower now and it doesn't know what to do with its status. As a result, we got Yugoslavia and Iraq, and the situation has only got worse.

It's America calling the shots in everything

The United States found dozens of billions of dollars for military action in Iraq, so it should certainly be able to find a few billions of dollars to get rid of weapons of mass destruction. I'll assume that since the most powerful nation - the United States - has promised to pay for much of this, then its word will be kept. If it isn't, I don't think we can have a true partnership.

The time has come to develop integrated global policies.
