“There is a circumstantial evidence that Iraq, North Korea and Russia have undeclared stocks of smallpox, ... Scourge: The Once and Future Threat of Smallpox.”
Jonathan Tucker
“France and Russia have oil companies and interests in Iraq. They should be told that if they are of assistance in moving Iraq toward decent government, we'll do the best we can to ensure that the new government and American companies work closely with them. If they throw in their lot with Saddam, it will be difficult to the point of impossible to persuade the new Iraqi government to work with them.”
James Woolsey
“There are certainly very legitimate interests that Russia has got in terms of outstanding contracts with Iraq. They will want to know we are sensitive to that, and we are.”
Tony Blair
“Russia, which has good relations with Syria and Iran , will help Iraq come to an agreement with them on questions regarding security in the country,”
Sergei Lavrov
“I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma: but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interests.”
Winston Churchill
“I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia.”
Woody Allen
“Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”
Hermann Goering
