This is like a utopia, such a fortunate country, to have all that you have, to live as you live. And it's all being defended by a 24-year-old Marine sergeant in my country.

You won't be able to continue to have all that you have unless you are willing to continue to fight for it.

These elections will fail by themselves. Political parties inside the country won't attend this farce. Chad's citizens, with the current loaded environment, won't be going out to vote, even just to say no to Deby.

This constitution is full of land mines that would explode on Iraqis. This constitution will divide the country.

To know oneself is to disbelieve utopia

Is the nature of men such, that they can reject miracle, and at the great moments of their life, the moments of their deepest, most agonising spiritual difficulties, cling only to the free verdict of the heart? Oh, Thou didst know that Thy deed would be recorded in books, would be handed down to remote times and the utmost ends of the earth, and Thou didst hope that man, following Thee, would cling to God and not ask for a miracle. But Thou didst not know that when man rejects miracle he rejects God too; for man seeks not so much God as the miraculous. And as man cannot bear to be without the miraculous, he will create new miracles of his own for himself, and will worship deeds of sorcery and witchcraft, though he might be a hundred times over a rebel, heretic and infidel.
