More From Stephen King

I don't want to use the term "nuclear weapons" because those people in iran who have authority say they are not building nuclear weapons. i make an appeal to the countries who do have nuclear weapons. they don't consider them a nuclear threat. but let's say a country that doesn't have nuclear weapons gets involved in building them, then they are told by those that already have nuclear weapons that they oppose [such a development]. where is the justice in that?
Country Iran People
Yes, i think lots of people are eager to obtain weapons of mass destruction. but there's no evidence that he has weapons of mass destruction. there's been no evidence of him testing nuclear weapons. we have people that are in our face with nuclear weapons. we've got iran and north korea. we've got a problem with pakistan. you know, i don't know what to say about that. there's a whole lot of people that are going nuclear. and i think that saddam hussein is actually, with the evidence, the least able to use nuclear weapons and the least obvious offender in that area at this moment.
Thinking Mass Destruction Iran
Back in 1980, the conservative movement was all-in for ronald reagan. once reagan won, they all wanted to be on the team. it was a landslide. everybody wants to bask in that glow. and then as the reagan years began, then the republicans, certain members of the party began to individually fall out and start talking about problems they had, secretly telling the media they thought reagan was a dunce and a danger to world peace, adopting the democrat line that reagan's finger on the nuclear button couldn't be trusted.
Team Party Fall
The costa rican government is prioritizing laying fiber optic over paving roads. costa rica is trying to become one of the internet societies. this is happening throughout the world.
Government Trying Fiber
We can never obtain peace in the world if we neglect the inner world and don't make peace with ourselves. world peace must develop out of inner peace. without inner peace it is impossible to achieve world peace, external peace. weapons themselves do not act. they have not come out of the blue. man has made them. but even given those weapons, those terrible weapons, they cannot act by themselves. as long as they are left alone in storage they cannot do any harm. a human being must use them. someone must push the button. satan, the evil powers, cannot push that button. human beings must do it.

What you and i need to do is learn to forget our differences. when we come together, we don't come together as baptists or methodists. you don't catch hell 'cause you're a baptist, and you don't catch hell 'cause you're a methodist... you don't catch hell because you're a democrat or a republican. you don't catch hell because you're a mason or an elk. and you sure don't catch hell 'cause you're an american; 'cause if you was an american, you wouldn't catch no hell. you catch hell 'cause you're a black man. you catch hell, all of us catch hell, for the same reason.

I think we too are the people who, on the one hand, want to listen to jesus, but on the other hand, at times, like to find a stick to beat others with, to condemn others. and jesus has this message for us: mercy. i think - and i say it with humility - that this is the lord's most powerful message: mercy.
