“Iran's continued drive to develop nuclear capabilities, including troubling enrichment activities and past work on weaponization documented by the IAEA, and its continued support to groups like Hezbollah, Hamas and other terrorist organizations make clear that the regime in Tehran is a very grave threat to all of us.”

“Iran, as we have already discussed, has carried out very, very harmful activities inside Iraq. Funding, trainings, arming and, in some cases, even directing the activities of the special groups associated with the Jaish al-Mahdi and the Sadr Militia.”

“Irani itakapoipiga Israeli, kama ambavyo imeshaahidi, Israeli itajibu mapigo. Kwa vile Israeli ina nguvu zaidi kuliko Irani, itaipiga Irani kwa silaha za kawaida. Itaipiga hata kwa silaha za kinyukilia pia. Kutunisha misuli, Irani itaomba msaada wa kijeshi kutoka katika nchi za Kiarabu; ambazo zitakubali kuingilia kati na kuisaidia Irani. Kwa silaha za kawaida, bado nchi zote za Kiarabu zitakazokubali kuisaidia Irani hazitakuwa na uwezo wa kuishinda Israeli. Kuishinda itabidi zitumie silaha za kinyukilia. Silaha za kinyukilia zitakapoanza kutumika, Marekani itaingilia kati kuisaidia Israeli. Marekani itakapoingilia kati kuisaidia Israeli, Urusi itaingilia kati kuisaidia Irani. Ufaransa, Uingereza na Ujerumani zitaingilia kati kuisaidia Israeli; huku China ikiingilia kati kuisaidia Irani. Hapo Vita Kuu ya Tatu ya Dunia itaanzishwa rasmi. Katika vita hiyo ya kinyukilia na mbaya kuliko vita zote zilizowahi kupiganwa, Israeli itashinda vita na itaanzisha utawala wa Mpinga Kristo duniani kote. Kutakuwa na dini moja. Kutakuwa na serikali moja. Kutakuwa na sarafu moja. Watu watapungua hadi kufikia milioni 500, kama ilivyokuwa mwaka 1650, asilimia 7 ya idadi ya watu wote ya leo.”

“Irani, la madre di Kulìa, si avviò a passo deciso verso il centro del villaggio, portando una coppa di infuso del mattino, bollente. Si sedette a fianco alla Madre, la salutò con gentilezza e le offrì la bevanda. - Ti sei svegliata presto, Madre. Bevi. - Avrei voluto svegliarmi prima, figlia. - Perché? - Avrei smesso di sognare. Non era un buon sogno. Tutto era alla rovescia e nessuno rimetteva le cose a posto. - Alla rovescia? Cosa? - Tutto, Irani, tutto era alla rovescia. Le persone, la vita, gli alberi. Le persone giacevano a terra ferite e morte, le donne venivano portate via per i capelli, i bambini sudavano tutto il giorno costretti a lavorare, gli alberi erano grigi e morti, il fumo era dappertutto. - La Madre continuava a stringersi la testa con le mani. Irani non l’aveva mai vista così - Cosa pensi che significhi, Madre? Intorno tutto era così verde, le persone erano in giro per il villaggio o sulla spiaggia, i bambini giocavano, a nessuno sarebbe passato per la testa di trascinare una donna per i capelli. La visione della Madre era la visione dell’impossibile. - Non lo so. Sembra impossibile ma pareva che tutti fossero abituati a vivere alla rovescia, come se fosse normale. Ho visto persone riccamente che davano ordini a persone vestite di stracci e queste si inchinavano. Ho visto donne chiuse da maschi in luoghi da cui non si poteva uscire. Bambini che non avevano cibo. - Madre, ciò è impossibile. Le donne sono le creatrici rispettate da tutti, i bambini mangiano sempre per primi, nessuno si inchina a nessun altro, siamo un popolo di gente libera. - Non capisci, era tutto alla rovescia. Tutto, ti dico. I villaggi non erano villaggi, non finivano mai, continuavano sempre. La campagna era lontana giorni e giorni di marcia. Non c’era un fiume in cui lavarsi, non c’erano orti da coltivare, le persone morivano e altre persone gli passavano accanto senza vederle, le persone non si salutavano, Irani. Le persone non si conoscevano. - Hai sognato ciò che non può essere, Madre. Hai sognato il contrario della vita, della libertà, della gioia. Perché dovrebbe succedere una cosa simile? Chi vorrebbe vivere così? Nessuno, Madre, e non può succedere. - Succederà, l’ho visto e l’ho sentito, le ossa mi fanno male da quanto sto soffrendo. La testa mi scoppia per quello che sto pensando. Non credo che vivrò ancora a lungo, non credo che potrò più dormire. Convoca il consiglio.”

“Iranian filmmakers are not passive. They fight whenever they can, as creative expression means a lot to them. The restrictions and censorship in Iran are a bit like the British weather: one day it's sunny, the next day it's raining. You just have to hope you walk out into the sunshine.”

“Iranian nuclear policy is transparent, and we have opened our facilities to United Nations inspectors. However, we will not abandon the great achievements of Iranian scientists.

“Iraq at one time was actually a functioning government. It's a real state. Afghanistan is not Iraq. It's tribal. It's got a different - a number of different sects, never really had a solid government there running the country on any kind of a continuing basis. Well, to rebuild the nation of Afghanistan is going to be more difficult than rebuilding the nation of Iraq.”

“Iraq both poses a continuing threat to the national security of the United States and international peace and security in the Persian Gulf region and remains in material and unacceptable breach of its international obligations by, among other things, continuing to possess and develop a significant chemical and biological weapons capability, actively seeking a nuclear weapons capability, and supporting and harboring terrorist organizations.”

“Iraq does pose a serious threat to the stability of the Persian Gulf and we should organize an international coalition to eliminate his access to weapons of mass destruction. Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to completely deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power.”

“Iraq has been forgotten. Even worse, or perhaps precisely because of this forgetting, many new Iraqs have been destroyed and added to the imperial list of oppression and domination since 2003. But, how can Iraq be forgotten? Isn’t forgetting it precisely the reason why many other Iraqs are being created around us without having enough people take notice? Are there still some naïve people out there who believe that what happened there will not happen here, albeit in a different shape or form? Are there any naïve people who believe that humanity can go on surviving with this brutal war machine? Are there still naïve people who divide our planet into 'here' and 'there'?”
