In many ways, the media today makes dictatorship impossible. But it also makes democracy intolerable.

You know who is against democracy in the Middle East? The husbands. They got used to their way of life. Now, the traditional way of life must change. Everybody must change. If you don't give equal rights to women, you can't progress.

Without freedom you cannot have real peace.
