It works very well, (but) it will seem strange to American eyes. No lawyers doing battle with each other, no O.J.-type trial dramatics.

Americans are not fighting nor being targeted by an abstract called terrorism, but a growing body of ideological concepts. They need to know what is it they are up against.

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

No, that's for the lawyers to handle.

Taken out of context I must seem so strange.

There was no crash in the Baghdad stock exchange, no crash ever, never.
