We believe that an Iraqi founding national assembly, freely elected, must decide the future of Iraq.

We must provide all kinds of freedom, personal and economic, to all Iraqis. I will fight for that.

Rather, it is through conciliation and compromise that we are building a fair Iraq, a just state for all its peoples.

The Kurdish people have the right of self-determination like every other nation in the world.

Justice for the major perpetrators cannot be separated from the vindication of the rights of the individual victim.

Self-determination could mean independence, confederacy, federal and autonomy.

The justice of our cause must be reflected in the manner in which we rectify the crimes of the past.

Conciliation is not capitulation, nor is compromise to be deemed equivalent to imbalanced concession.

Wishful thinking is one thing, and reality another.

Every human must take responsibility for his actions.

A military coup needs a sacrifice and courage that you can't find in an army without morale.

In my view, far from deserving condemnation for their courageous reporting, the New York Times, the Washington Post and other newspapers should be commended for serving the purpose that the Founding Fathers saw so clearly.

Congress is functioning the way the Founding Fathers intended-not very well. They understood that if you move too quickly, our democracy will be less responsible to the majority.

Government is necessary for our survival. We need government in order to survive. The Founding Fathers created a special place for government. It is called the Constitution.
