Yes, because on September 11, 2001, when terrorists went to the United States and put fire, killing people, President Bush and the world, we all said no to terrorism.

We had 32 coup d'etats; it's enough. We need now to respect the constitutional order. And I will leave the palace on February 7, 2006, which is good for our democracy.
I reject the Bush administration's suggestion to hold early elections in an effort to diffuse the crisis.
