• La democracia es sólo una palabra. Hay que darle un significado. Estados Unidos no es una democracia. La mayoría de los estadounidenses no votan. Hace mucho, mucho tiempo que no tenemos una opción real. La riqueza manda. Las corporaciones mandan. Estados Unidos es una plutocracia, un gobierno de ricos. Ciertas personas controlan las corporaciones multinacionales. No se puede ser elegido en los EE.UU. sin mucho dinero.

• It has never happened in history that a nation that has won a war has been held accountable for atrocities committed in preparing for and waging that war. We intend to make this one different. What took place was the use of technological material to destroy a defenseless country. From 125,000 to 300,000 people were killed... We recognize our role in history is to bring the transgressors to justice.
