A military coup needs a sacrifice and courage that you can't find in an army without morale.

If there is a spot where you have dictatorship, where people are not free, people are not satisfied, they do not find food and shelter, they are under the poverty level, this is a dangerous spot for the whole world, because those people will move, and they will move to different places. They will be carrying bad feelings towards others.

Many Americans, we know, are horrified by the posture of their government but seem to be helpless.

Everywhere that the struggle for national freedom has triumphed, once the authorities agreed, there were military coups d'etat that overthrew their leaders. That is the result time and time again.

In the relations of a weak Government and a rebellious people there comes a time when every act of the authorities exasperates the masses, and every refusal to act excites their contempt.

Is the patience of the American people that long suffering? Is there no outrage left in the country?

Government is at its worst when you have apathy from its citizens.

In crises, the old is dying and the new has not been born. Hence, the revolts we are witnessing in Egypt and Tunisia, which may yet extend to other countries in the region, are full of uncertainties.

Rebellion has its roots in government's indifference and incompetence.

I'm very disappointed by the mature-democracy countries. I was ousted by a coup d'etat.
