Political Quotes

“Mr. Chairman, Islamic fundamentalists are good people, by and large, but there is a radical group of them that control a country called Iran and control a country called Sudan who have a vision of the world that is quite different from ours. They have a vision of controlling with their movement a Messianic totalitarian movement, a southern Europe, the Middle East, northern Africa, the Near East, all the way through India, and over to much of where the Philippines is today, through Southeast Asia, because they believe it is their destiny to do that. They do not think the same way that we do about matters, and they see the United States, in particular, as standing in their way to do this, and they use terrorism as the means of trying to accomplish their end and to drive us out of a region where we have an obligation to be, where we have national security interests that require our being there in those regions of the world where they want to be dominant and where we have national security interests that dictate preventing a Messianic totalitarian organizational scheme of things from controlling the matters at hand. They are, therefore, going to continue to try to bring terrorism into the United States.”
