We are in the process of helping them implement a strategy which is was described to us in Aqaba as to how the Palestinian Authority want to reconstitute a security force in order to make sure the terrorists, the haters of peace, those who can't stand freedom do not have their way in the Middle East.

I think that freedom is a powerful incentive. And I am — I believe that someday freedom will prevail everywhere, because freedom is a powerful drive for people to — and it's the beginnings of people expressing themselves toward a free Iran, which I think is positive.

Wait for us to succeed peace. Wait for us to have two states, side by side — is for everybody coming together to deny the killers the opportunity to destroy.

And in the meantime, before that state is established, it is clear that the free world, those who love freedom and peace, must deal harshly with Hamas and the killers. And that's just the way it is in the Middle East.

We spent a lot of time talking about Africa, and we should. Africa is a nation that suffers from incredible disease.

When Europe and America are divided, history tends to tragedy.
