I am encouraged to see women are being elected in Chile, Argentina, Liberia, Ireland. More is more.
There's full consensus in the military that women shouldn't be in person-to-person combat. I don't know if we have enough experience to know whether this is the right approach. But women can be elsewhere. We have mandatory military service in Chile. I pushed for women in all areas.
Like Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Paraguay and others, Mexico believes that we should evaluate internationally agreed upon policies and search for a more effective and comprehensive response

I think that Anderson Cooper does a great job of staying with stories and pushing them. New Orleans he really. . . He was there and he pushed it past the point where his producers were saying, "Listen, you've got to stop because people are tuning out now. You know, we're on to another disaster.

I have lived with my conscience and my own memories for over quarter of a century since the events of 1973. . . . These are not easy reflections for me.

I want to make the most out of the word ‘fame. ’ I want to do good things with my fame, or whatever it is. I want to help and do charity work. There’s something going on in Chile right now with the water, so I think I’m going to down there in a month to help out.
