TIME: Thank you very much, Mr. President for meeting with us. Before we start with the major issues, I wanted to ask you a personal question. I spent Election Day in your old neighborhood of Nasiabad and I was struck, as I always am, by the numbers of widows and orphans of the Iran - Iraq War. Most Americans don't understand the impact of that war, a million casualties on your country. I wanted to ask you about your own experiences during that war. Did you see combat? Did friends of yours die? What impact did have on your worldview...

The best world is one in which all countries cooperate with one another to kind...
...President, if I could just ask again the question I asked earlier. Again, President Obama as well as Mr. Sarkozy and Mr. Brown will be asking immediate inspections of this new, previously undisclosed nuclear facility. How do you respond to that? Will you allow the inspections? We don't have any problems in terms of cooperating with the IAEA based on the supervisory prerogatives of the IAEA.
