When the new wave of terrorism came on the modern world, which is the late 1960s, early 1970s, I think we spent about a decade, the United States and our allies, trying to figure out how to deal with it.

We've thrown out Saddam and Saddam, dead or alive, is finished in Iraq.

You know, the country is basically peaceful.

Saddam spent 35 years stealing and wasting money, and all of these systems are very fragile and brittle, and you try to fix one thing and something else gets in trouble.

I think we Americans, of all people, understand the importance of a good, legal, constitutional framework as the basis of political life.

These people hate the United States, not for what we do, but for who we are and what we are.

We try very quickly to show that we are not at war with the Iraqi people. We're trying to deal with the people who are indeed themselves at war with the Iraqi people.
