I think this is really a defining moment for the Arab world. The problem is, it is all going to be about blood, sweat and tears. In certain countries it may be just sweat, and in some countries sweat and tears, and in some countries, as you can see, a lot of blood. I think initial instability is something that we are all extremely nervous of. ↗

Jordan has to show the Arab world that there's another way of doing things.

Palestine is the cement that holds the Arab world together, or it is the explosive that blows it apart. ↗

Somebody was asking me the other day - President Bush is now talking about freedom for the Arab world. I say, well, that's great. I was talking about that fifty years ago. ↗

Everything that could produce a clash between the Arab world and the West seemed dangerous to me. ↗

In the Arab world, there is no link between the cultural habits of peoples and the ways of thinking and creating of modern intellectuals. They are two separate worlds. ↗
