In the present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem

I think what's very disturbing about the present crisis is that there are a number of things going on at the same time, all of which aren't very good. We've got the Japanese yen going to eight-year lows, we've got talk about devaluation in China, we've got Hong Kong coming under attack and we've got a number of other Asian economies just showing incredible signs of weakness.

The present crisis has been the most predictable, the most senseless, boring and short-lived of all the crises we have had to endure these last few years.

Iran believes negotiation based on international agreements is the solution to get out of the present situation and accepts all constructive proposals in this respect.

We will do whatever we can from the Norwegian side to try and find a solution ... to the present withering situation at the peninsula, and also to the long time settlement of the Tamil aspirations.

The team is really focused and they are expecting a lot inthe present, ... But asalways, you just never know.
