The word 'democracy' and the name of Assad do not blend very well in much of Syria.

I do not make stories up, full stop.

It's very easy to start a war but the muftah, as the Arabs say, the key to switch off a war, is very difficult to find.

It's a journalist's job to be a witness to history. We're not there to worry about ourselves. We're there to try and get as near as we can, in an imperfect world, to the truth and get the truth out.

Refuse to accept the narrative of history laid down by presidents, prime ministers, generals and journalists.

These terrible terrorism acts occur because of political situations and injustice in various parts of the world. The Middle East is heavy with injustice. After September 11,George W.Bush announced that he had always had a vision of a Palestinian state. Why didn't he tell us that before September 11, when it would have been a bit more impressive?
