• Lo que siempre me ha impresionado es el hecho de que cuando se hablaba en la tele sobre Irak, antes de que empezara Afganistán, sólo se escuchaba a oficiales del ejército del tipo de la escuela pública hablar sobre lo que estaba ocurriendo allí. No dejaba de pensar: "¿Por qué no escuchamos la verdadera voz de los soldados? ¿Por qué no escuchamos a los muchachos en el campo de batalla?

• Así que la administración Bush-Obama ha adoptado una postura fiscal diametralmente opuesta a la del santo patrón de la libre empresa. Al tiempo que intensificaba la guerra en Afganistán y mantenía más de 850 bases militares en todo el mundo, la administración ha acumulado la deuda nacional que Smith denunciaba. Al desplazar la carga fiscal de la propiedad y de los monopolios que buscan rentas -sobre todo, del sector financiero-, esta política ha elevado el coste de la vida y de los negocios en Estados Unidos, socavando así su poder competitivo y acumulando una deuda externa cada vez mayor.

• The events in Crimea themselves have nothing to do with what happened in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and other regions. In my opinion, when the world becomes unipolar, or when someone tries to make it so, then this one pole has the illusion that all issues can be settled through power. And only when there is a balance of power does the desire to negotiate appears.

• They [people of Afghanistan] didn't want Al-Qaeda in their country. They didn't appreciate the Taliban taking control. But they really have an incredible amount of dignity. And by that, they are grateful for America's help in ridding them of the Taliban. The average, ordinary person is glad that their daughter can go to school now. There's no public executions, no banning of soccer games. The difference is, they're appreciative, but they don't want any prolonged military presence of the United States there.
