"I admire freedom fighters. It is the freedom fighters who took part in the American Revolution and won. I believe that there is nothing more precious than liberty. I toured the Square. People bustled back and forth paying little heed to anything except getting on to their destinations. Sometimes at night, throughout Cairo, some young people would call their fellow countrymen to support a continued resistance. But those who gathered round them were not the crowds of the Revolution. Had people lost faith in their struggle?"

"In truth, the one percent would not be capable of building a propaganda apparatus slick enough, nor be able to hire enough cops, nor assemble armies with enough troops, nor build prisons rapidly enough nor large enough to keep us enslaved--if only enough of us awoke to the reality of our common plight....Therefore: "I'm worried now but I won't be worried long."

"The tremendous advances in the field of science and technology and the cultural and social evolution have given another dimension to the art of war by bringing in the media to play its very effective role. This is an era when prior to the war game of arsenals, intellectual war is fought. This has been named as the media war in the modern language. This sort of war is carried out with such severity and strength that at times, the stage of arsenal war seldom comes. It is so powerful a war that the weaker and the ill prepared party becomes frustrated and prone to psychological defeat to the extent that it surrenders to the enemy as an easy prey without confronting him in the field."

"What the Tea Party and the religious right want is a candidate who is ideologically "pure" (and they believe Romney is not), while what the GOP leadership wants is a candidate who can win control of the White House and not hurt the party's chances to take control of both Houses of Congress (and they believe none of the other candidates are able to accomplish either objective). And so what I have called the "fratricidal embarrassment" continues. It was on display during Wednesday's televised Republican debate as the candidates focused their nasty attacks more on each other than on President Obama."

"Hamas is at a crossroads. If it continues to shun any and all efforts to honestly move forward with Palestinian reconciliation it may retain power in the Gaza Strip, but not for long. The people are not fools. And once they see that this authority, which is willing to stay in power at any cost is also willing to forfeit national unity, it is only a matter of time before they are on their way out."

"Logic means truth - the principles and strategy of correct thinkin. If the contemporary Arab leaders had the faculties of mind and vision and leadership intellect, they would have established people’s-based system of governance, public institutions to deal with issues of peace and conflict management, be open to listening and learning for effective characteristics and adaptability to the making of a future defined as intelligent leadership. Are they leading anyone to anywhere except tragic events, bloodsheds of the innocents and destruction of the habitats?"

"There is no question that the situation in Baluchistan is alarming and needs urgent attention....Military operation cannot be the solution – Pakistan should not forget what happened in East Pakistan."

"The Vice President should avoid the spotlight and should actually do something to earn the $230,700 annual salary paid to him or her by the American People. The Vice President should get a real job, and the People should get their money’s worth."
