The blunt truth about the politics of climate change is that no country will want to sacrifice its economy in order to meet this challenge.

There will be no peace in our world without an understanding of the place of religion within it.

Saddam Hussein's regime is despicable, he is developing weapons of mass destruction, and we cannot leave him doing so unchecked. He is a threat to his own people and to the region and, if allowed to develop these weapons, a threat to us also.

If people in the end think that you can't do something in a way which is acceptable then it won't fly. The only way you get anything like this done is if people think, 'I understand why it is being done.'

As I have said throughout, I have no doubt that they will find the clearest possible evidence of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction.

I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that the intelligence was genuine.

Stirring is OK. It just depends what happens in the end.
