  • I understand how democracy works. Quite a little bit of criticism in it, which is fine. That's fine. That's part of the process. But I have every right, as do my administration, to make it clear what the consequences would be of policy.

  • I did not suggest that Iran is a democracy; just the opposite. I talked about it being a repressive theocracy.
