Every chance at destabilizing [bashar] assad... the bombing campaign causes a flood of refugees into jordan, there's already half a million in jordan. i think a bombing campaign - i think it's hard to argue that a u.s. bombing campaign is going to cause less refugees. and i think it causes more refugees and more of a humanitarian disaster. i think it causes, or allows, the risk of israel being attacked with a gas attack to go up, if we attack assad. so there's all kinds of bad things.

Pakistan always seems to have a lot of political complexities and political challenges. but pakistan is important for a number of reasons. primarily, it is a nuclear power. and if, in fact, al qaeda and taliban, which are in pakistan and causing a lot of tragedies and deaths in pakistan - if they would ever somehow have real influence and control of that government, then we [world] really have a problem.

In my fight against terrorism, to me, the biggest terrorist is obama in the united states of america. for me, i'm trying to fight the terrorism that's actually causing the other forms of terrorism. the root cause of the terrorism is the stuff that you as a government allow to happen and the foreign policies that we have in place in different countries that inspire people to become terrorists. and it's easy for us because it's really just some oil, which we can really get on our own.

In 1491 the inka ruled the greatest empire on earth. bigger than ming dynasty china, bigger than ivan the great’s expanding russia, bigger than songhay in the sahel or powerful great zimbabwe in the west africa tablelands, bigger than the cresting ottoman empire, bigger than the triple alliance (as the aztec empire is more precisely known), bigger by far than any european state, the inka dominion extended over a staggering thirty-two degrees of latitude—as if a single power held sway from st. petersburg to cairo.

There was an assumption that aerial bombing of civilians in world war ii would cause fragile, working-class people to basically have nervous breakdowns and it would paralyze the state. that was the logic of aerial bombing. in fact, it doesn't happen at all, but the logic behind aerial bombing has never stopped, even though it never demoralizes, terrorizes, or paralyzes a population.
