I described the euro as a burning building with no exits and so it has proved for some of the countries in it.

Today further EU targeted sanctions on Syria come into force. The message is clear and unambiguous: those responsible for the repression will be singled out and held accountable.

I still agree with the invasion of Iraq. I don't agree with most of the decisions that accompanied it.

I don't think a wise thing at this moment is for Israel to launch a military attack on Iran.

There's only one growth strategy: work hard.

If some of the people who write about mojo came with me for a week, they would drop dead on their feet.

Iran's continued, widespread persecution of ethnic minorities, human rights defenders and political prisoners is a disgrace and stands as a shameful indictment of Iran's leaders.
