As president of Iraq, I shall strive to represent the diversity of a country that has too often in the past denied difference.
From Jalal Talabani
Democracies, unlike dictatorships, are forgiving and generous, but they cannot survive unless they fight.
Every human must take responsibility for his actions.
I shall stand for freedom of thought and expression in a place where it has been trampled and penalized.
Iraq is not occupied, but there are foreign forces on its soil, which is different.
Our gratitude to the American people is immense and we should never be embarrassed to express it.
Our plan is to struggle against terrorism and have security for the country and help draft a democratic constitution as soon as possible.
The justice of our cause must be reflected in the manner in which we rectify the crimes of the past.
We believe that an Iraqi founding national assembly, freely elected, must decide the future of Iraq.
We must provide all kinds of freedom, personal and economic, to all Iraqis. I will fight for that.
