I Would Not Run As

A Strong State Department To Me Means A Corps Of Career Officials Who Believe That Their Job Is To Advocate America's Interests And Who Are Trained In Effective Advocacy, Not Schooled In Accommodation.

The Iranian Government Is The Government That Supplied The Arms On The Karin-a To The Palestinian Authority Several Years Ago, They Are The World's Largest Central Banker For Terrorism, If They Thought It Was In Their Interest To Give A Terrorist Group A Nuclear Weapon To Use Against America Or Against Israel, I Don't Think They'd Hesitate.

I Wouldn't Give Up On Russia, And With Oil At $90 A Barrel, They Can Refurbish Their Strategic Capabilities And Under An Authoritarian Regime, Those Nuclear Weapons Are Still There And In The Wrong Hands We Might Have A Problem Again.

I Am Not A Professional Politician.

What We Want For The Iranian People Is Control Over Their Own Government, Which They Don't Have Now. So You Would Do It Through Supplying Resources And Support From The Outside To The Indigenous People Who Are Already Quite Unhappy. The Mullahs Have Made Hash Of The Economy Since 1979, There's A Huge Amount Of Economic Dissatisfaction. The Young People, Who Are Pretty Well Educated And Sophisticated, Know They Could Have A Better Life Than This Strict Islamic Law.
