Start doing the things you think should be done, and start being what you think society should become. Do you believe in free speech Then speak freely. Do you love the truth Then tell it. Do you believe in an open society Then act in the open. Do you believe in a decent and humane society Then behave decently and humanely.

Israel is the only country in the Middle East where Arabs can be elected to the parliament in a democratic election.Adam Michnik
Life has taught me that if someone is being whipped and someone is whipping this person, I am always on the side of those who are being whipped. I've always criticized U. S. foreign policy for forgetting that the United States should defend those who need to be defended. I would object to U. S. policy if it supported Saddam Hussein, and I have always criticized the United States for supporting military regimes in Latin America.

Poland is an ally of the United States of America. It was our duty to show that we are a reliable, loyal, and predictable ally. America needed our help, and we had to give it.

We have the whole universe of anti-Semitic dispositions in Poland, but I've never been accused of serving Israeli interests. I'm not even accused of being pro-American, because most Poles are pro-American. You can say that I look at Israel and the Middle East from the point of view of a Polish intellectual who likes the country, but does not like Ariel Sharon.

In my opinion, the religious visions of Bush's circle are anachronistic. I can't believe that John Ashcroft has personal conversations with God every day, who tells him what to do. But if God told him that he should destroy Saddam, then this was the right advice, because a world without Saddam Hussein is better than a world with Saddam Hussein.

I consider that 9/11 was the day when war was started against my own work and against myself. Even though we are not sure of the links, Iraq was one of the countries that did not lower its flags in mourning on 9/11.
