I have no doubt that given a real choice, the vast majority of Muslims and Arabs, like everyone else will choose a free society over a fear society.

By focusing once and for all on helping the Palestinians build a free society, I have no doubt that an historic compromise between Israelis and Palestinians can be reached and that peace can prevail.

Will dissent be permitted? The answer to that question will determine whether the society is a free society or a fear society.

The vast majority of free verse is ghastly. Utterly ghastly. No one reads it. No one listens to it.

Can someone within that society walk into the town square and say what they want without fear of being punished for his or her views? If so, then that society is a free society. If not, it is a fear society.

I do genuinely believe that, when given and presented with all the information and all the actual facts, the vast majority of people will make the right choice.
