In my view, stability only comes with a government that is elected by the people and works for the people.

If I could have just 1 per cent of the money spent on global armaments, no one in this world would go to bed hungry.

I still believe that any country understands that if they use nuclear weapons, they will be wiped out of existence. They could be irrational in many ways, but I don't think they're irrational to the point that they're ready to annihilate their own country.

The U.S. engages with North Korea, so I dont see why they cant engage with Iran.

Youre shooting yourself in the foot if you isolate or disempower the moderates.

The Germans should be the first to sympathize with us [Egyptians]. They know how difficult it is to build a democracy following a dictatorship, and they were the first to be critical of Morsi's anti-democratic policies.

Whether weapons exist in Iraq, Saddam Hussein or post-Saddam Hussein, it is a serious enough issue that require that we continue to go and make sure that Iraq does not have weapons.
