The justice of our cause must be reflected in the manner in which we rectify the crimes of the past.

Wishful thinking is one thing, and reality another.

The Kurdish people welcome the no-fly zone protection, contrary to the Iraqi regime that is against it.

We believe that an Iraqi founding national assembly, freely elected, must decide the future of Iraq.

We must provide all kinds of freedom, personal and economic, to all Iraqis. I will fight for that.

The Kurdish people have the right of self-determination like every other nation in the world.

Our gratitude to the American people is immense and we should never be embarrassed to express it.
