The U.S.-led western alliance, while acting as an advocate of democracy, rule of law and human rights, is acting from the opposite position, rejecting the democratic principle of the sovereign right of states enshrined in the U.N.

I'm the opposite of that.

All views can't be true because all views are opposite; this is the logical aspect. For example, Islam says we are good in nature; Christianity says we are born in sin. Islam says God is a man; Christianity says He is more than a man, He is God. All truths can't be the same.
I've had people say to me, 'You'll never sell handbags. You don't work with leather, and leather is luxury.'

For me, it doesn't have a luxury element to it.
