The United States is supplying the most modern and sophisticated weaponry to Israel to the tune of billions of dollars every year.

You are twice as likely to be struck by lightning as you around to be affected by a terrorist event in the United States.

Someday, the capitalist system will disappear in the United States, because no social class system has been eternal. One day, class societies will disappear.

The United States tyrannizes and pillages the globalized world with its political, economic, technological, and military might.

Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.

When you decide to get involved in a military operation in a place like Syria, you’ve got to be prepared, as we learned from Iraq and Afghanistan, to become the government, and I’m not sure any country, either the United States or I don’t hear of anyone else, who’s willing to take on that responsibility.

I’ve used the prestige and influence of having been a president of the United States as effectively as possible. And secondly, I’ve still been able to carry out my commitments to peace and human rights and environmental quality and freedom and democracy and so forth.

Middle-income countries are the biggest users of GMOs. Places like Brazil.

The great thing about the United States and the historically magnetic effect it has had on a lot of people like me is its generosity, to put it simply.

A revolution is not a bed of roses.

If you’re in favour of any policy – reform, revolution, stability, regression, whatever – if you’re at least minimally moral, it’s because you think it’s somehow good for people. And good for people means conforming to their fundamental nature.

The greatest thrill in my life was to represent the United States of America.

Is the Iranian record of intervention and terror worse than that of the U.S.?

What really turns me on about technology is not just the ability to get more songs on MP3 players. The revolution – this revolution – is much bigger than that. I hope, I believe.

We’ve persevered because of a belief we share with the Iraqi people – a belief that out of the ashes of war, a new beginning could be born in this cradle of civilization.
