"It's unfortunate because with Hamas, and with Hizballah in Lebanon, it has made it very difficult to have dialogue - and dialogue is ultimately necessary to have peace in the long term - but we are not going to sit down with people whose objectives are ultimately genocidal." "I think all of the civilized world is agreed - and it's not just Canada - we can't deal with organizations whose principal and only objective is terrorism and the eradication of the other side."
