WALID JUMBLATT

Don't forget we are in a state of war and no peace. But it's very dynamic and challenging compared to the rest of the Arab world.

Syrian influence has not ended yet. It is going to be a very long path.

We will not rest until we see the suspects behind bars.

Those who liberated the South from Israel must show allegiance to Lebanon.

There was a president imposed by Syria. Our battle... is to have a Lebanese president that we elect.

The Syrian regime is helping the insurgency in Iraq and allowing all kinds of militants to come in and out, and go to Iraq to attack random soldiers and innocent people.

I condemn what happened in Madrid, but it is suspicious. If tomorrow there will be another bombing, in France for example, who will gain power? Of course not Jacques Chirac, but Le Pen.

We move sometimes. We send messages to each other. We talk on the phone. Tell me, what can we do?

The consequence of Mr. Bush's and Blair's historic lie that the reason for invading Iraq was weapons of mass destruction, is that everything is being doubted.

I know something quite sure. We'll never have peace with this Syrian regime. They'll never give us relief, and we'll never forget that.

The Syrians are trying to say that the Lebanese are not capable of ruling themselves.

Lebanon will be engulfed again in a huge power game that will last quite a long time. This is the tragic destiny of Lebanon.

We are very serious about imposing weapons restrictions on the PFLP and other Palestinian groups operating from their camps in Lebanon.

How dangerous emperors are when they go mad.

The U.S. always needs an enemy. It comes and goes. Today it is Islam. According to this plan or ideology of the born-again Christians who formed an alliance with Zionism, Islam is the monster.

The violence and burnings in Lebanon were the work of Syrian soldiers and workers dressed in civilian clothes.

No one can live under degradation.

We are all happy when U.S. soldiers are killed week in and week out. The killing of U.S. soldiers in Iraq is legitimate and obligatory.

There is a racist attack against Muslims and Arabs, Algerians, Moroccans, and Tunisians in France.

The Islamic State is a threat to both the moderate Islam headed by Mr. Saad al-Hariri and, of course, for Hezbollah. There is a convergence, an anxiety of a common enemy... which is good.

If I have any advice to give to the Syrian president it is to cooperate for the sake of the investigation or for the sake of uncovering the truth.

Pluralism, democracy, unity, respect all mean nothing because on the ground, we hate each other

If justice is to lead to bloodshed, what is the use of justice

It's strange for me to say it, but this process of change has started because of the American invasion of Iraq. I was cynical about Iraq. But when I saw the Iraqi people voting three weeks ago, 8 million of them, it was the start of a new Arab world. The Syrian people, the Egyptian people, all say that something is changing. The Berlin Wall has fallen. We can see it.

I was cynical about Iraq. But when I saw the Iraqi people voting . . . it was the start of a new Arab world.. The Berlin Wall has fallen.
