If you're interested in politics and you're not following it, then it's a little bizarre.

The first big choice: a government with the strength to deliver stability, or a government that takes the country back to boom and bust.

I think I made the wrong career choice

My view always is that we should learn the lessons, both of the last sort of 50 years of policy-making and it is possible to get to a foreign policy that is engaged and active without going back to where we were in the post-9/11 world.

Before people crow about the absence of weapons of mass destruction, I suggest they wait a bit.

And just as the terrorist seeks to divide humanity in hate, so we have to unify it around an idea. And that idea is liberty.

Repressive states are developing weapons that could cause destruction on a massive scale.
