Roger Cohen quotes:
-
The riveting moral power of the Arab Spring comes from its homegrown quality. This is about Arabs overcoming fear to become agents of their own transformation and liberation.

Interventionism is inextricable from the American idea. If the United States retreats into isolationism, it ceases to be itself ? a nation dedicated, however much it falls short, to a universalist ideal of freedom.
-
Conspiracy theory is the ultimate refuge of the powerless. If you cannot change your own life, it must be that some greater force controls the world.
-
Iraq and Afghanistan have exacted a toll on America - in lives, treasure and standing - that it will take a generation to work through.
-
Conspiracy theories are the refuge of the disempowered.
-
Never underestimate the human capacity for delusion.
