I Happen To Think That As The Ukraine Moves To The West, Towards The E.u., Eventually Towards Nato, It Will Pave The Way Also For Russia Moving Towards The West. Because It Will Become A Logical Extension Of The Same Process, And It Will Eliminate Any Imperial Ambitions.

Look At Islam In A Rational Manner And Without Demagoguery Or Emotion. It Is The Leading Religion Of The World With 1.5 Billion Followers.

Never Before Has A Populist Democracy Attained International Supremacy. But The Pursuit Of Power Is Not A Goal That Commands Popular Passion, Except In Conditions Of A Sudden Threat Or Challenge To The Public's Sense Of Domestic Well-being.

Democracy Is Inimical To Imperial Mobilization.
