The consequence of Mr. Bush's and Blair's historic lie that the reason for invading Iraq was weapons of mass destruction, is that everything is being doubted.

The Syrians are trying to say that the Lebanese are not capable of ruling themselves.

The Syrian regime is helping the insurgency in Iraq and allowing all kinds of militants to come in and out, and go to Iraq to attack random soldiers and innocent people.

I condemn what happened in Madrid, but it is suspicious. If tomorrow there will be another bombing, in France for example, who will gain power? Of course not Jacques Chirac, but Le Pen.

A choice is an act of god, malevolent or loving is your will, free until conflicting with others who share this power, a true collision of good and evil.

The best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain.

I am making amends and seeking forgiveness. My only hope is that some good can come out of my situation.

Sometimes, I, anyway, get tired of playing defence, and like to play offence.

By the age of 9 or 10, I knew that I had to cut my own cloth and make my own way.

What we need is more money back in the hands of Americans of any economic standing and so raising taxes right now doesnt make sense.

Our arms start from the back because they were once wings.
