We continue to hear that private capital is on the sidelines awaiting for the Government to get out of the way before it enters the secondary mortgage market.

When I make a mistake, I have to pay for my mistakes. And when they make a mistake... I have to pay for their mistakes.

I wonder if it is not moral hazard to allow a nation to go into a depression?

The monarchy's inaction, its failure to address the needs of its people, is feeding Iran's influence in Bahrain

Beyond discussing it, are we advocating it? Are we leading the effort at the Security Council or are we just in eliciting mode?

It seems to me a dangerous proposition to urge people to seek democracy and revolt and then not help them.

We have called upon the Government of Bahrain to commit to real reform by releasing and accounting for those missing or detained

What is the scope? What would we be happy to support?

What are we talking about here, if we are serious about trying to help and shape the outcome here?

I don't want to lose a golden opportunity to ensure that we have information that could lead to a prosecution regardless of the results in Libya.

It is very difficult to understand how we move forward in that respect, and a very difficult situation we put our diplomats in in that respect.

I look at the developments, and what's happened with the military in Turkey, which has, in my view, been part of the challenge in getting to a solution in Cyprus.

I certainly applaud President Calderon. I mean, I believe he is the first Mexican President that has really taken on the drug traffickers; and as he has taken them on, increased violence has ensued.

The great leaders in Mexico will understand that their country's future will either be determined by its people or determined by the drug lords.

It speaks to their commitment to democracy. It is imperfect.

Are we making the right investments in Merida to achieve our mutual goals, to help the Mexican Government both fight the narcotics traffickers and, at the same time, build the institutions that are necessary for long-term justice and…
