I will listen to Mr Bush but my position is very clear and very firm. The occupation is a fiasco. There have been almost more deaths after the war than during the war.

The more equality women have, the fairer, more civilized and tolerant society will be. Sexual equality is a lot more effective against terrorism than military strength.

Any peace process after so many years of horror and terror will be long and difficult.

Wars such as those which have occurred in Iraq only allow hatred, violence and terror to proliferate.
