“Under extremely difficult circumstances (Iraq) pursues the inherently complicated task of rebuilding the country. Yet Iraq continues, courageously, to reach for the promise of a democratic, federal and pluralistic state, where generations of oppressed Iraqis will regain their dignity, freedom and the right to join the civilized and progressive nations of the world.” WorldCountryStatesNationsDifficultGenerationsCircumstancesPromiseDignityTasksDemocraticIraqComplicatedPursueCivilizedProgressiveOppressedRebuildingDifficult Circumstances Author:Jalal Talabani
“The real causes of terrorism are not poverty and oppression per se, but rather the bankruptcy of materialist ideologies, like Neo-Conservatism, which promise much but deliver little. The central doctrine of Neo-Conservatism is "democratic capitalism." This is the ultimate oxymoron, because in practice the political pluralism that should underlie democracy cannot exist in a climate of economic plutocracy.” ShouldLittlesRealPoliticalPoliticsCausesPovertyPracticeEconomyDemocracyEconomicPromiseCapitalismUltimateDemocraticClimateTerrorismDoctrineOppressionIdeologyLiberalismConservatismBankruptcyPluralismOxymoronPlutocracy Author:Robert Dickson Crane

“John Kerry and the other Democratic leaders are on the wrong side of history, as they were during the Reagan presidency. If they had won the day, and Reagan had failed, the Soviet Union would still exist, as would all the harm and suffering it unleashed, and American security would be far weaker as a result. And if they win this election thanks to a promise to undo the Reagan-Bush Doctrine, those cheering loudest will be the most evil-loving among us.” IfsStillsWould BeSufferingEvilWinningSidesResultsLeaderSecurityPromiseElectionUnionsDemocraticHarmDoctrineThanksCheerSovietPresidencySoviet UnionJohn KerryUnleashedDemocratic Leaders Author:Mark Levin

“Faced with the potential of mass atrocities and a call for help from the Libyan people, the United States and our friends and allies stopped Gadhafi's forces in their tracks. A coalition that included the United States, NATO and Arab nations persevered to protect Libyan civilians. So this is a momentous day in the history of Libya. The dark shadow of tyranny has been lifted, and with this enormous promise the Libyan people now have a great responsibility: to build an inclusive and tolerant and democratic Libya that stands as the ultimate rebuke to Gadhafi's dictatorship.” PeopleHelpingDarkResponsibilityPromiseProtectShadowUltimateDemocraticTrackTyrannyDictatorshipNatoGreat Responsibility Author:Barack Obama
“I think there are some in the Democratic Party - not all - but I think there are some people in the Democratic Party that think that the immigration issue is more valuable to them unsolved.
