Saddam Hussein has been brutal against his people, but when he was committing those crimes, the international community did not come to the rescue of the Iraqis.

We are not supposed to go out and kill all those we suspect to have committed a crime.

People in so many countries look up to the United States as a model of democracy, but I doubt if that can continue. It leaves me with a great sense of loss.

People in the U.K. cannot understand whether Blair has lost his mind or whether his ambition to be the second-most-powerful man in the world made him lose his mind.

President Bush should be indicted and should be driven out of office. He should be sent back home in Texas.

The British Red Cross asked me to help them spearhead a fundraising campaign for the victims of the war in Nicaragua. It was a turning point in my life. It began my commitment to justice and human rights issues.

The death penalty is being applied in the United States as a fatal lottery.

The killing of innocent people is always wrong.

The mere fact of an American being present could help save the lives of innocent people. That's why I believe in the importance of bearing witness, to become a voice for the voiceless.

The Sandinista government became consumed with fighting a war of survival. They were up against the biggest superpower in the world.

Today, we talk a lot about terrorism, but we rarely talk about state terrorism.

Tony Blair has turned his back on the principles he claimed he believed in before he stood shoulder-to-shoulder with George W. Bush. He was an entirely different kind of leader.

There is a question for which we will never know the answer: had the U.S. not launched the Contra war to overthrow the Sandinista government, would they have succeeded in bringing socioeconomic justice to the people of Nicaragua?

Those who suffer are not those at the top, but are the less privileged members of society.

The U.S. embargo imposed on Nicaragua, rather than weakening the Sandinistas, actually maintained them in power.
