He is an energetic politician.

That politician is well versed in internal and external conditions.

A certain amount of certainty gives the sense of a non zero outcome.

Plus, during the last decade, we've been in the mode where dealing with groups was conceptually and politically dangerous.

It can give credit to sound decision making, adding momentum to success.

Are we really prepared to say that we're powerless in the face of such carnage, that the politics are too hard?

You're risking your political capital.

90 percent of the funding came from Thailand.

And this is a really emancipatory and political contribution to peace and reconciliation.

What happened there was a political coalition gathered together for a political goal, and that was to remove the leader.

For the Christ, the temptations are economic, political and spiritual.

You seem to describe a political leadership that is kind of unprepared and a prisoner of the whims of the financial markets, and that scene in Brussels that you describe, to me, as a citizen, is terrifying.

Bullies use violence in three ways.

And that doesn't produce a productive politics.

They don't deal in political matters.

They put political prisoners there and they freed the political prisoners.

Every Iranian artist, in one form or another, is political.

It would be politically untenable.

Still, I know you are taking a great political risk.
