I'm not asking you to agree with me, but at least open your mind.

One of the things that I've been doing over the past few years is reevaluating my own powers of political analysis.

And the problem is, I can apologise for the information that turned out to be wrong, but I can't, sincerely at least, apologise for removing Saddam.

I think people think their incomes have been flat lining for a long period of time. They feel that the next generation's opportunities are not going to be improvement. So and I also think that social media then allows insurgent movements to gain scale at speed.

I think everyone's had their pound of flesh and now it's time to move on.

As for those that carried out these attacks there are no adequate words of condemnation. Their barbarism will stand as their shame for all eternity.

You only require two things in life: your sanity and your wife.
